    Meanwhile...
     
    If you have a production/sandbox enviroment that is still on version 23... you can take a copy of that, and use that for migration.
     
    It worked for me anyway :)

    Nothing yet, they have said the hotfix is on way, but it will probably be released at same time with the BC24 release.

    Hi, I am also facing the same issue while performing cloud migration setup.
     
     
    Any further update from Microsoft?

    Hello,
     
    I have the exact same problem trying to migrate to BC 24.

    Got confirmation from MS that is to do with the BC24 version being postponed and this is affecting the cloud migration too.

    thank you Zhu, I have checked all the settings already on that page and it definetely not to do with the database. 
    i did do another cloud migration on Saturday on a diffrent db and that worked. 
    Same db that worked on Saturday, just retried it and it doesnt work with same error. 
    So its probably a bug in the runtime or in the BC cloud migration setup. 
     
    thanks anyway

    It looks like the database cannot be accessed, or there is a problem with the database. Hope the following can give you some hints.
     
     
     
    Thanks.
