When we import the resources after the migration, we could see the error as 'ERROR ImporterImpl:201 - Import failed as resources cannot be decoded'.

Problem Statement:

Our user has done the migration from JRS version 7.9 to 8.1.1. The export from JRS 7.9 is completed successfully. When they import it into the new JRS 8.1.1 environment, they get the below error:

[java] Processing started
[java] 2023-03-28T19:48:53,649 ERROR ImporterImpl:201 - Import failed as resources cannot be decoded
[java] Import failed as resources cannot be decoded

How do I resolve this error?

Solution:

This error generally occurs because the  'deprecatedImportExportEncSecret' keyword was not added to the import and export commands.

Please use the below steps for the migrations:

1. At the time of export, please run the below command in the buildomatic of JRS 7.9.1:

    js-export.bat --everything --output-zip export111.zip --keyalias deprecatedImportExportEncSecret --> where export111.zip is the name of the zip file that will be generated after the export operation.

2. At the time of import, please run the below command in the buildomatic of JRS 8.1.1:

   js-import.bat --input-zip export111.zip --keyalias deprecatedImportExportEncSecret    ---> This same file would be used at the time of import into JRS 8.1.1.
