## Symptoms

- * "migrate import" fails with errors.   

* The following is displayed in the `$CPDIR/log/migrate_<DATE>.log` that was created during the failure:

  ```
  
  [DATE TIME] Info: Command line: install -a /opt/CPsuite-RXX/fw1/tmp/migrate//svrdir 6.0.2.5 /opt/CPsuite-RXX/fw1/tmp/migrate/main_db/
  [DATE TIME] Info: Advanced upgrade is identified.
  [DATE TIME] Error: Directory /opt/CPsuite-RXX/fw1/tmp/migrate//svrdir is not valid.
  [DATE TIME] Error: svr_install_imp exited with errors
  [DATE TIME]] Error: Error in process '/opt/CPrt-RXX/bin/svr_install_imp install -a /opt/CPsuite-R77/fw1/tmp/migrate//svrdir 6.0.2.5 /opt/CPsuite-RXX/fw1/tmp/migrate/main_db/'. Error code is 1
  [DATE TIME]Error: Error while running svr_install_imp process
  [DATE TIME] [CommandRunner::exec] ERR: Command execution had failed
  ```

## Cause

The migrate export file that was created, did not generate the "svrdir" directory.

When importing the environment, the *svr_install_imp* process cannot find the requested directory and causes the procedure to fail.
