I don't normally do this, but I have to give big kudos to RRRChive. We just performed a test data migration of around 3 million records, and without taking anything away from migrator, it choked on this one. RRRChive came to the rescue and performed magnificently. Thanks Misi for this

I am betting on 64-bit support of ARS 7.5 as compared to ARS 5.0.1 which is 32-bit. While there are performance improvements in AR System 7.5.00 (and even more in AR System 7.6.0x), just wanted to clarify that 32-bit vs. 64-bit does not necessarily lead to a performance increase unless you

Why not just stand up a 7.5 / 7.6.03 server and migrate your users and groups. Leave both systems up for 30 days, and then archive the old one, and do away with it? 5.01 used older varchar for oracle, and clobs, and the migration seems excessive for such an old system. if they need the old one,

It is probably looking for websvc70.jar (since you are on ARS 7.0) and should be defined on a ARF-Java-Class-Path line in the ar.conf. The file may be there, just the line missing in the conf. If you have the ar_install script look in it for ARF-Java-Class-Path. It should tell you what
