NOTE: During the last step, you might see some warnings. These warnings will occur because the code-migration-develop tool is not capable to do everything on its own.

There will be some manual work that you’ll need to do.

You can easily identify these warnings in the log file /code-migration-develop/var/migration.log from where you can perform the remaining manual code migrate job.
