Use --skip-checkpoints to force the migration

java -Xmx4096m -jar aem64-author-p4504.jar -v -x crx2oak -xargs -- --load-profile segment-no-ds

This worked for me

Is your issue solved.

[Nirmal_Jose]

java -Xmx4096m -jar aem-quickstart.jar -v -x crx2oak -xargs -- --load-profile segment-no-ds

this will work, as in the command there is a double double dash -> -- --load-profile segment-no-ds

Not relevant, but same error will come https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-4/sites/deploying/using/in-place-upgrade.html#performin...https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-4/sites/deploying/using/in-place-upgrade.html

Determining the correct upgrade section

Step 3 will show the same error again

This is because of the documentation error. The document says to use
java -jar aem-quickstart.jar start -c crx-quickstart -i launchpad -Dsling.properties=conf/sling.properties -Dsling.run.modes=publish,crx3,crx3tar
But start command is not available for aem-quickstart.jar which is a sibling of crx-quickstart folder.

start is available only for /crx-quickstart/app/aem-quickstart*.jar

I have used the below command

java -jar aem-quickstart.jar -r author,nosamplecontent,websquad3,crx3,crx3tar,crx3tar-nofds -p4502

crx3tar-nofds is used since I have S3 datastore
