Several updates were made to SKU number changes between BVC2004 and BVC5 so that might have indirectly resolved the null issue. If not, let us know.

I figured out the problem. Product modifiers only can have 1 item that is null. Check out: http://69.84.153.207/Pro...MAC1200-AAX-CXX-XXX.aspx

The null item test was created after the migration. There are three items in the drop down. Two are null. Only the last null item works.

The GE Medical MAC 1200 Options was migrated. i deleted all my null items except for the "choose an option here" and everything worked, it raised the flag. then i created a null item at the end of the drop down menu and the "choose an option here" flag DOES NOT WORK.

So the problem is that only one null item will work with the product choices... which is not good.

This post if for information only, as I was able to resolve my problem by using an older version of the migration tool.

When I used the 5.1 migration tool to import categories and products into my 3.2.20 complete new build, the products were not visible or searchable in the public side of the store at all (none of them). My old store is a BV2004 version 2004.7.2306.7202 (core). However, the products were searchable from the admin side of the store.

My solution was to use the 5.0.0.28 migration tool to import categories and products, and this seems to work fine for me. All of my products had pure alpha/numeric sku's with no spaces. After several attempts to import the categories and products with the 5.1 migration tool (including starting over with an new database), I was not able to view any products on the public side of the store. I ran the 5.0.0.28 migration tool and told it to delete previous categories and products, and all products were immediately linked to their appropriate categories and all products were searchable using the public search tool.

I am not skilled enough to tell you why it didn't work. Hopefully, someone can offer a solution that will allow the latest migration tool to work in the future.


My Edit: had the current version of BV5 reported incorrectly
