Migration off categories

[ppaulo]

Hi guys,

I migrate to virtuemart 2, but the categories don´t migrate very well. Apparently they all migrate, but the sub-categories are all like superior category level. They lost the virtuemart 1 order, it´s normal?

I experienced the same issue and also received the error "Port Categories Xref unknow : ID 0" during the migration process. After some debugging I found that the VM 1.1 category_xref table had a row where the parent_id and child_id were both set to 0. I deleted this row and then reprocessed the data migration and all the category hierarchy was migrated properly. This row was probably bad data from VM1.

Could you describe step by step what did you do?
