Error importing 4.1 workspace on apex 4.2.1.

Question

Hi, i recently installed apex 4.2.1. I can login on internal workspace with admin, all ok, but i get errors by importing my old workspace (4.1).
I have loaded the exported sql in TOAD to get better error log. Here it is:
Error at line 36
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: error numérico o de valor

ORA-06512: en "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_FND_USER_API", línea 1372
ORA-06512: en línea 2
"Unauthorized access (security group package variable not set)" Is it the cause?
I try to import the workspace on a exisiting schema, the same where i installed apex.
I can create the workspace manually and next, import the aplications, but i lose the groups and users.

You seem to be getting an error on your workspace id, I'm guessing you tried to create it manually first.
So instead of creating a new workspace you need to do an update of your manually created workspace.
That's ok you can create it manually first, Ill describe here how you can update it.
First go to the view APEX_WORKSPACES in your APEX 4.1 schema in the database. Find out what the workspace ID is in your database.
Copy the ID and then open your workspace sql file (that you import).
Go to the line:
begin
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>XXXXX);
end;
Replace XXX with your workspace id.
Import the file.
