We are currently upgrading Liferay Portal from 6.1.20-ee-ga2 to 7.2.10-fp3.

After database migration from 6.1 to 7.1, I see following error on startup:

2019-11-29 14:45:39.276 ERROR [Portal Dependency Manager Component Executor--1][JDBCExceptionReporter:234] Incorrect string value: '\xC2\x80\xC2\x99s ...' for column 'description' at row 1
2019-11-29 14:45:39.286 ERROR [Portal Dependency Manager Component Executor--1][LPKGDeployerRegistrar:185] Unable to track installed app Liferay Collaboration - Liferay Invite Members - Impl with Marketplace
org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Could not execute JDBC batch update

        at org.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:128)
        ...
        (same for API, whole stacktrace attached)

I thought the upgrade tool was not able to upgrade some tables but there are no modules left when I execute gogo shell with upgrade:check. And furthermore I am able to deploy the app via widget control panel , its working so far.

So I tried to find the broken table but the log is not really helpful. There are too many tables with the column 'description'. If someone knows where this incorrect string values lies, please give me a hint.

Since we dont need this app anyway, I tried to deactivate it with a com.liferay.portal.bundle.blacklist.internal.BundleBlacklistConfiguration.config file containing the blacklisted bundle name. Now the module disappears from the widgets control panel but the error still appears on startup.

Is there a possibility to configure this "Portal Dependency Manager Component Executor" to not start "Liferay Invite Members" app?

I would be super happy if someone can help me fix this issue.
