Migrating db from liferay-portal-6.1.2-ce-ga3 to liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga5 https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=119785294&threadId=110639632 2026-04-07T17:30:25Z 2026-04-07T17:30:25Z Alberto Chaparro https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=110789062 2018-08-23T10:58:27Z 2018-08-23T10:58:27Z

<p>Hi Venkat,</p> <p> </p> <p>If you take a look at the code, it is failing here:</p> <p> <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/7.0.4-ga5/portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/upgrade/UpgradeProcess.java#L463">https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/7.0.4-ga5/portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/upgrade/UpgradeProcess.java#L463</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>And that's fragment of code is destined for modules. However  the upgrade which is running belongs to the portal (UpgradeAddress) so there is a problem with this check</p> <p> <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/7.0.4-ga5/portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/upgrade/UpgradeProcess.java#L457">https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/7.0.4-ga5/portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/upgrade/UpgradeProcess.java#L457</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Please, verify that you have configured the upgrade tool properly before running the upgrade.</p> <p> </p> <p>I hope it helps.</p> <p> </p>
