Luminis IV migration problem

I am attempting to complete the migration process of data into Luminis IV. I am finally down to my last error (I hope). Can anyone provide any input as to what would cause the following error and a potential solution.

## executing operation: transform the address book ldif file

Any help greatly appreciated.

Check access

I know it's been over a month since you posted, and you've probably moved on, but just in case:
You may want to check the permissions of your migrated files. The migration process must not be run as root, but as your cpadmin or lmadmin (or whatever you called it). I had an issue where I transferred files to the target machine as root with root only read access and the cp user could not read the files.

Bob.
PS. If you got this working, did it work?
I'm having problems with the migrated address book entries. Groups and their members are migrated, but entries that are not in a group do not get migrated.

Still not working.

I did run the migration as user adminlm. Thanks for the suggestion.

Migration still failing

We are on Luminis IV production since October 15, 2007.
The migration died for us in the addressbook conversion (among other places). There was no help from Sungard even with an SR.
Our problem was with an addressbook entry that killed the migrator - you will have to look at the output file and at the input file to see what the last entry that was successfully handled was - the next entry in the input file after the last entry in the output file is probably the one to remove. Delete this entry and continue on. I have a major problem with the migrator in that it does not restart back at a logical place - instead you have to rerun from the beginning.

We had the number of migrator errors set high, but in this case the migrator blew up and quit.
I hope this helps.

Migration failing

We have finally got past many for the migration steps. But we are stopped again on.

Yet everywhere I look it appears that the migration properties for the SctDbUrl defined. Any ideas?
