Hi IFS Community!

Upon running the Excel-Add In for Data Migrations on IFS Cloud for a specific job in Production, we get "Unexpected end of JSON file" with no further information as to why this is happening.


We migrated the same data to a different environment last week (CFG) with NO errors whatsoever, so we know that the data we are migrating is not the issue.

We checked permissions for the user running the migration and it all looks fine as well.

 

Any ideas what could be causing it?

I solved my problem so entering here in case someone is experiencing the same issue.

In this case the issue with me was, although I had permission for the migration job, I lacked permissions for the Projections supporting the Migration Job (which is a different set of permissions you grant normally at the Permission Set level).

Once I granted permissions on the projections, the error went away.

It would have been nice that the error message was a bit more descriptive, but in the end all that matters is that now I can run my migration jobs! :)
