Wanted to give Hikashop a try.
Started from a new empty Hikashop installation
Database tables : _price, _file, _product, _product_category. are empty , _category has 11 entrys.
after migration of 1016 products and 167 categorys :
_price 16 entrys.
_file 8475 entrys. ???
_product 999 entrys.
_product_category 975 entrys.
_category 129 entrys.

Backend result: Some categorys missing, no product prices, random files linked to products, lots of images without path attached to each product, etc..etc

is there a way to log the migration ?
there are some messages shown up during migration but they disapear quick

Hi,

There is no log of the migration process.
The system tries it's best to migrate the data. However, the structure of VirtueMart changes based on the versions and if you have modifications in VirtueMart, it's even more complex. So having a generic import system work for all the cases perfectly is difficult.

Actually, we've had someone working on a VM migration for one of our clients last months and he has added some patches to it, so it might help you.
He is actually in vacation and will come back next week. So if you can send a message again on Tuesday, he should be able to provide some patches so that the migration would work better in different cases. These patches will also be included in the next version of HikaShop.
