upgrading from CQ5.5 to AEM 6.1: Privilege definition with name 'crx:replicate' already exists.

[pvr_reddy]

I am facing an issue when upgrading from CQ5.5 to AEM 6.1 .

I have already deleted the index files and am able to regenerate them when I run the migrate command . 

java -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048M -jar aem-quickstart-6.1.0.jar -v -x crx2oak -xargs -- -o migrate

However, I see the following error in the console (excerpt below), mainly the access privilege error:

1. Privilege definition with name 'crx:re plicate' already exists.

Any help in resolving is appreciated.

PS:  I have also tried hardcoding the datastore path for windows (full absolute path) as mentioned in : https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/release-notes/known-issues.html#Known%20Issues

to no use !

Sounds like when you upgraded to 5.5 [1] might not tested your application correctly.  Engage with official support channel so that your history of instance can be discussed to arrive for possible solution.

@Sham,

There have not been any replication issues it the current CQ 5.5 instance after the upgrade from 5.4.

Also, above error on "crx:replicate" being already present is not the same as the issue mentioned in the helpx link you have given.

The AEM6.1 migration seems to want to write a newer privileges to the nodes and is not able to do so due the attributes already being present.

Please check the given stack trace again and advise.

thanks

pvr.
