Hi All, 

I am getting a v12.4.1 Migration Tool error "mkdir: cannot create directory '': No such file or directory" when trying to migrate my v11 DB to v12 using the Git Bash app.  The occurs on any v11 DB.   

The v12.3.8 Migration Tool works fine, no errors and I can load my v12 converted DB without issue. Let me know if you think I am missing a parameter or something like that to get v12.4.1 working. 

I appreciate the support! Have a great weekend.

Hi Chris 🙂 Did you double check everything? While the Git Bash app isn't my area of expertise, most report similar issues when the migration tool does not link to the right SQL files. 

Hope this helps:

Database Migration Errors from v11 to 12.4.1

Common Error - Users often encounter issues with the migration tool not finding necessary SQL files, which can halt the migration process.

Solution - Ensure that all required migration scripts are correctly placed and accessible by the tool. Double-check file paths and permissions.

Tool Compatibility - Verify that the Git Bash app and the migration tool are compatible with your operating system and database versions.

Documentation - Refer to the official documentation for specific migration steps and troubleshooting tips for version 12.4.1.

Debugging - Use verbose logging options in the migration tool to identify where the process fails, which can provide clues for resolving the issue.
