I'm trying to upgrade a J5 site to J6. I'm following the instructions to migrate my J2Commerce v 4.1.0 to pkg_j2commerce_6-3-2, but the migration won't even begin without everything erroring out. Visually, it says I'm using the right migrator (j2store), but all the source tables show as prefixed with hikashop. It applears the component has this hardwired into the program.

Please update to correctly use j2store source tables.

Art,

I am looking into this right now and will have this resolved (hopefully) shortly.

Art,

 

Looks like version 6.0.4 shipped with the wrong connector plugin. Uninstall the version you have now and then install this one and you should be good.

Let me know if this works

Hi Adam, thanks for your dedication to this project. I was able to solve the problem on my staging site by modifying the existing connector. However, after I finish upgrading that site, I have another where I will test the new connector you provided. If it doesn't work, I'll report back.

Art,

 

Glad to see you were able to work around it (not happy with us that you had to). I am going to close this ticket but if you run into any other issues along the way, please don't hesitate to open a new ticket.
