Packlets Cannot Be Found

Packlets Cannot Be Found
If you use a Deployment Manager package created in a distributed Cognos Series 7 environment,
the package and packlet files you want to use as the migration source may be on different
computers. For example, the Deployment Manager package file (.dmp) can be on a Windows
computer and the packlets can be on one or more UNIX computers. If the package and packlet
files are not on the same computer, you get an error when you run the migratetoc8 command
indicating the migration process cannot find a packlet.
Before running the migratetoc8 command, the package and packlet files must be located on the
computer where you will run the migratetoc8 command. Also, you must modify the .dmp file to
show the correct location of the packlet files.

Exception Raised

Exception Raised
This error occurs if the command line syntax is incorrect.
Ensure that you specified the appropriate parameters on the command line. If you still encounter
the error, test the parameters individually. For example, enter only mandatory parameters and see
if the problem still occurs. If the migration is successful, gradually add the optional parameters
back.

Command Fails to Run with Special Character in File Path

Command Fails to Run with Special Character in File Path
If the source or target file path includes the special characters ampersand (&), pipe (), or
parentheses ( ), the migration command will fail to run.
To use these special characters in a file path, the characters must be preceded by the escape
character (^) or quotation marks. For example, the following commands will run properly:
migratetoc8 "e:\IS&T\reports" "e:\IS&T\migrate"
migratetoc8 e:\IS^&T e:\IS^&T\migrate
