[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Archon -> ArchivesSpace Migration Failure Message

Mon Apr 9 15:53:18 EDT 2018

Hello Austin and Andrea,

I’m going to put a tech support ticket in for you on this. (You’ll see another message about that directly to you in a minute.) The tech folks should be able to help you through the process of using the Archon migration tool. Once you get it worked out, it’d be great if you’d share the solution back to the listserv.

Edgar,

I am assisting Andrea on this process. The credentials do indeed belong to an account with administrative permissions for this Archon instance, and are valid/correct. The link to the Archon source is also valid (we've tried variations with protocol and paths just to make sure) as the migration tool proceeds with the first bit of authentication after successfully connecting to the Archon source, but ultimately fails and presents the error previously mentioned.

I managed to nab a copy of the log before it spits out the error almost instantly. Here's what it says:

Administrator authenticated ...
Finding Accession Records Repositories ...
Getting records for: ?p=core/accessions&batch_start=1
No accessions found ...

I hope this helps, thank you.

Hello,

The error seems to point to here: https://github.com/archivesspace/archon-migration/blob/v2.3.x/src/org/nyu/edu/dlts/utils/ASpaceCopyUtil.java#L349, assuming you are using the 2.3.x version of the migrator.

It could suggest that it did not successfully connect to your Archon instance and thus did not return any records causing the Null Pointer Exception. Ensure that the Archon user/password combo has administrator privileges, and the archon source is the correct URL.

Hello,

We are attempting to migrate from Archon Version 3.21 rev-2.1 to ArchivesSpace installation V2.3.0 but we are encountering this error. We have followed up to step 5c and 5d in the Archon Migration Tool Instructions and were met with the following error.

Can anyone help us interpret this error and figure out where to move forward?

--------

Unrecoverable exception, migration stopped ...
