Wlcs 3.5 migration to portal 4.0 problem

Question

Hello, can anybody help with this problem ?
We are migrating a WLCS3.5 application to portal 4.0 (as a requires middle step
to wlp7.0)
Despite some known issues with the migration tool, (the migraton tool craches
if
webflow properties has empty lines, etc.) we have webflow and placehloders migrated.
However we were not able to extract the content selectors,
and rulesets ( aprox 100 content selectors), the tool is crashing with sax errors.
Is there a way to convert clob fields in placeholder table
(only those corresponding to content selectors) to the xml files
required for wlp 4.0 ?
source platform: wlcs 3.5 sp1 / wls 6.0 sp2 / solaris / oracle 817
destination platform wlp 4.0 sp3/ wls 6.1 SP4 / solaris / oracle 817
Ihe error the migration tool gives is :
-------------- Start of Rules Migration ------------------

Answer 1

it sounds like the clob isn't being retrieved correctly...??
in migrator.bat, what do you have set for this line:
REM set PATH=%PATH%;%WEBLOGIC_HOME%\bin\oci816_7
in your migration_install.properties file, what do you have for the following?
#commerce.jdbc.read.shouldUseClobs=false
depending on whether the driver can support java.sql.Clob, you'll adjust this
setting...
if you end up doing any code migration, you need to make sure that you have the
patch for CR085102 from bea portal support...it was not included in 4.0sp3 (but
should be in 4.0sp4)...
hope this helps!
