Create Migration Workspace error

Brian_Laws — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:00:48 GMT

I have begun the process of migrating our Water Distribution network from the geometric network to the utility network. I've created the Simple Mapping spreadsheet and have it filled out and now I am attempting to run the Create Migration Workspace tool but I get the following error:

I've run the tool many times but it gets almost all the way finished but just fails right at the end with the same error every time. Any help would be appreciated!!

If you can package up a repo case(schema only), I can look a look. Reviewing the source, it has something to do with the source to target mapping and subtypes. It should be looking at the subtype name. Do you have subtypes who description is a number?

Hi Mike,

No, we don't have any subtypes in our geometric network data. How do I package up a repo case for you to look at?

I would need the source and target database in a fgdb. Do not need the Geometric network. Also the data mapping spreadsheet.

Thanks Mike. I'll follow up via email with those files.

To close out this question, Mike discovered what my issue was. In the Simple Data Mapping spreadsheet I was attempting to create new Asset Types that were only numbers:

Even setting the column as text would still result in them being seen as numbers by the GP tool. So I added some text in there in addition to the numbers and was able to run the Create Migration Workspace tool successfully.
