Summary

Learn how to resolve the error message "Query failed at: insert into mig_contentid_" when migrating spaces with the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant (CCMA).

Overview

During a space migration with the CCMA, the space migration can fail with the below error message in the user interface:

1 2 Failed to export [cloudId=<cloud_id>,spaceKey=<spacekey>]. Error: Query failed at: insert into mig_contentid_tv2de693f75

The below signature is also found in the application log file atlassian-confluence.log:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ERROR [pool-0-thread-0] [agent.newexport.store.JdbcConfluenceStore] mutate Query failed at: insert into mig_contentid_tv2de693f75 ... Column 'id' cannot be null; nested exception is com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Column 'id' cannot be null at org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLExceptionSubclassTranslator.doTranslate(SQLExceptionSubclassTranslator.java:87) at org.springframework.jdbc.support.AbstractFallbackSQLExceptionTranslator.translate(AbstractFallbackSQLExceptionTranslator.java:70) at org.springframework.jdbc.support.AbstractFallbackSQLExceptionTranslator.translate(AbstractFallbackSQLExceptionTranslator.java:79) ...

The error indicates that a null value was passed to a field that cannot be null.

This mainly happens with the spacedescid column.

Solution

  1. Run the below query in Confluence On-Premise to check if the column value is indeed null. Replace the "<spacekey>" in the last line with its actual value.

    1 2 3 SELECT spacedescid FROM spaces WHERE spacekey = '<spacekey>';
  2. After confirming the result is null, edit the space description in the UI to something else (How to edit space details).

  3. Retry the space migration.
