What happened?

Description:
We downloaded the MigrationTools-15.1.7-Preview.5 version file and changed the source and target details in the configuration JSON file. Then we ran the tool using devopsmigration execute -c configuration.json for migrating the source and target.

While using the Azure DevOps Migration Tools version 15.1.7-Preview.5 to migrate work items, I encountered an error that halts the migration process. The error message is as follows:

[12:40:11 ERR] [15.1.7-Preview.5] Unable to GetWorkItem with id[4601]

I have already set "MaxGracefulFailures": 10, but the error is not being skipped. Here are some additional details from the log:

Request for Assistance:
How to Skip the Error and Continue Migration:
I have set "MaxGracefulFailures": 10, but the migration tool does not skip the error and continues with other work items. Could you please provide guidance on how to configure the tool to skip such errors and proceed with the migration?

How to Resolve the Error:
The error indicates that the work item does not exist or that I do not have permission to access it. I have verified the existence of the work item and the permissions, and they appear to be correct. What steps can I take to resolve this error?

This is not a bug, but a question that belongs on dicsussion.

[MrHinsh]

You can exclude it from the query

[deependra-singh-gurjar]

Hi @MrHinsh
is there any way we can start it from where it exited
instead of running it from start

[deependra-singh-gurjar]

Hi @MrHinsh I have seen one issue the work item id 930 is not there in source then why this tool is searching for it and from where it is coming while migrating

[MrHinsh]

Its likely in a comment. We just shipped a fix for mentioned work items that no longer exist.

Its in the latest preview view version.

[deependra-singh-gurjar]

Ohh thank you so much
