ACS migration tool fails

[r.spiandorello]

Hi, running the migration tool, I receive the following request:

Make sure that the database is running.

ACS 4.x DB is not available, Enter ACS 4.x database password(Encrypted Password)

:[******]

With the plain database password, used during the ACS installation,  I receive a fatal error message at the end of the procedure like this: "Fatal Error !! - cannot connect to ACS 4.x DB !!"

Where can I find the ACS encrypted database password ?

Following the migration log:

I'm running the migration tool on a clone VMware machine, from the console.

Hello, i have the same issue, migration utility can get acs4.x database password, entering the correct password does not change the errror message: "05-07-2014 16:19:41 MigrationApplicationCLI.getUserInformation(MigrationApplicationCLI.java:953)ERROR - Could not Invoke ACS 4 Password read system.Error at C:\Work\ACS5x\ccweb_views\dgash_acs5_0_lenovo\vob\nm_acs\acs\mgmt\migration\DbPassword\Password.c line 1265, API calle"

It seems that there is somewhere in the scripts a coded path to "C:\Work\ACS5x\ccweb_views\dgash_acs5_0_lenovo\vob\nm_acs\acs\mgmt\migration\DbPassword\Password.c"

tried to search within the files in the migration utility directory, but no success.

Does anybody know the answer?

regards

Thomas
