Dear @Catalina ,

Please find the below answers for the details:

  • Can you describe the steps you have taken so far to execute the WBMMappingClient command?
    • 1st, we have installed WBM extractor in the Windchill server.
    • Then we have run the windchill com.ptc.windchill.migration.wbm.wc2wc.util.AttDefAnalizerClient -a
    • Then trying to execute windchill com.ptc.windchill.migration.wbm.wc2wc.mapping.client.WBMMappingClient -u wcadmin -p <pwd>
      • Here we are getting the above mentioned error
  • Are you encountering any specific error messages or issues related to illegal XML characters, as indicated by the IllegalDataException?
    • There is no log captured in MS log
    • Please let me know if we need to refer any other log
  • Have you checked the configuration and setup of your Windchill environment to ensure it supports the WBMMappingClient command?
    • We are going as per the PTC guide. As AttDefAnalizerClient command execution was successful, so for next step we are trying to run WBMMappingClient.

Please find the below screenshot of MappingClient command execution.
