## Symptoms

- * Pre-upgrade verification did not show any error or warning.
* Migrate import failed with error:   
  `Failed to import: Failed: Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.6.0.v20140809-296a69f): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
  Internal Exception: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: operator does not exist: uuid = character varying `

  bind => [2 parameters bound]`

## Cause

The problem is in the source database. The owner field for mirror object is set to null instead of UID for that specific domain. This mirror object is an internal object and cannot be simply edited in SmartConsole or Web API.
