Data Migration

Hi Community,I am facing an issue when i am trying to transfer legacy data to input container with the date field. other date field mapping like valid_until and acquisition date are working just fine. The error i am getting is for the VALID_UNTIL column which has a value as 30.12.2049. the value for other column are also in the same format. The error is am getting is “Unable to start IC_ADD_AND_META_VALID - ORA20110: DatInputContainerUtil.EXEERR: Error while selecting data from legacy file(s). ORA01861: literal does not match format string”. Can anyone please explain me why this is happening.I even checked the training video but there is not much information on handling date column when transferring data to input container.I would Appreciate your input on solving this. Tank you

We have some information stored in technical attributes for equipment object that would like to migrate to Service Notes, but that was not as easy as I though since Notes are a CLOB field.We are currently on 24R1 SU4 and I found this workaroundExcel Migration - Technical Documentation For IFS CloudBuisness_Lead_API have a procedure Write_Note_Excel__, but Request_Contact_Note_Api does not have a similar procedure in our version. Could some see if the Api been improved with such a procedure in 24R2 or 25R1?      

Hello,I noticed that Engineering part transfer actions do not check wether the engineering revision already exist on destination site until a first transfer is made.I’m having an issue with a customer where inventory parts & engineering part revisions have been created via data migration. However, now each time a une an existing part revision in a new engineering structure, when I transfer the top code it creates revisions for all the components … This means the setup of Product structures (issue to location, conumption type, alternatives,  ...) needs to be made every single time a component is transferred for the first time, for all the parts already in destination site. I tried to tag the transfer actions as ‘transferred’ but couldn’t reach my goal. => Has everyone encountered such an issue ? How could this be fixed ?Thank you,//Pierre

Hello Community,I'm facing an issue with the Data Migration Manager. Whenever I deploy records that include dates, the time is being interpreted as 12:00 PM instead of 12:00 AM, which leads to a "resource not found" error.For example: 1/1/2000 12:00 PM is being used, but it should be 1/1/2000 12:00 AM.I've tried modifying the date format in the legacy file, but that hasn't resolved the issue.Thank you for your support.
