Asset Workflow Migration tool | Issue while executing

[ShikhaSharma]

Hi,

We have a requirement where we need to migrate the custom asset workflow from on-prem to AEM as a Cloud. I explore the utility " GitHub - adobe/aem-cloud-migration" but when I executed the same it gave me below error

It will be helpful if anyone has tried this utility and can share step by step guide. 

TIA.

hi @ShikhaSharma, 

Can you provide the command used to launch the program? As stated in the documentation, this is the correct method:

java -jar wf-migrator-VERSION.jar [PROJECT_DIR]

Hi @giuseppebag , below is the command I was using and where aem-wknd is the code base having the custom asset workflow

java -jar wf-migrator-0.6.0.jar C:\aem-wknd

By looking at the code here and here, the error message occurs when any of the filter.xml files across all Maven modules are missing the necessary nodes: /conf or /etc/workflow. Please review each filter.xml file to ensure it includes the correct node paths that contain the workflow before attempting to launch it again.

@ShikhaSharma Just checking in! Were you able to get this resolved? If you found your own solution, sharing the details would be a big help to others who might face the same issue later on. And if one of the replies here helped—whether it fully solved the problem or simply pointed you in the right direction—marking it as accepted makes it much easier for future readers to find. Thanks again for helping close the loop and contributing to the community!

Hi @kautuk_sahni , surely will update the group.

Hi @giuseppebag @kautuk_sahni 

I successfully executed the utility after resolving errors by updating the filter.xml and other configuration files.

However, I have a question regarding the /var folder. My code contains the dam/update_asset workflow models in two locations:

1. aem- wknd\ui.content\src\main\content\jcr_root\conf\global\settings\workflow\models\dam\update_asset
2. aem-wknd\ui.content\src\main\content\jcr_root\var\workflow\models\dam

Despite the utility's final report stating that /var workflow nodes are obsolete for AEM as a Cloud Service and will be automatically generated, the utility did not delete or move the workflow model from the /var path.

The final report's 'Paths Deleted' section confirms this: 'No paths were deleted.'

what I understood the utility should remove the model from var folder, but it didn't. Please suggest.
