Hello Craig,

basically it's an issue with AL migration.

According to the list, it is not affecting everyone.

At the bug description it is stated, that it's happening with AL's that
have embedded objects.

Suppose if you get that error, you can just import those failing ones
with the Admin tool, and are good to go.

"Defect ID: SW00281927
Summary: 
Ref: ISS03188951, Migrator Error- unknown error occurred within the
thread
Status: Closed
Resolution: Fixed
Target release: 002"


Best greetings,
Robert

What is the problem you found with Migrator and has it been confirmed?
We need to move to v7.1 ASAP but also use Migrator...

Hello Andy, 

we are currently running on 6.3 and building a new 7.1 system. 

At the moment we just move data and are not really testing, so can't
give you any feedback on testing results ... however, we came across an
issue with the Migrator, which is going to be fixed in patch 002
(basically it prevents us from using the Migrator).

What I'm saying is that the advantage of going directly to 7.1 is, that
it takes longer until it is officially unsupported (7.0 is moving out of
support one step earlier, right?). If you ask me, that is one major
advantage.

Though it also will take us some additional time until we go productive.
2-3 months or so. I'm hoping that 1 or better 2 additional patches will
be released by then, and I would not like to or (personally) recommend
to go live with such an early release as patch 001.

Of course just my personal thoughts. 

 

Best greetings, 
Robert

Sorry, Brian, but that's not gonna happen.  The gradual migration of
non-coding items from Admin to User is by design, and will enable BMC to

Hi Andy

My own opinion is that 7.1 is a good release and so far I have
had no
problems in production.  Running on Windows/MS SQL.

The main advantages are the built-in password management and
password
change functionality, multi-threaded escalation queue and filter
error 
handling.

The most annoying downside is the removal of the Server
Information from
the Admin Tool, being replaced by the admin application in the
User
Tool.  I am constantly having to open a 2nd User tool just to
turn logs 
on and off.

I do not use ITSM7 so cannot comment on any of the processes
that it
uses and their stability, just on the base ARS platform.
