Python error using CBTransfer tool

Couchbase Server
1

We’re seeing the following error when using the CBTransfer tool to copy data between buckets. We’re currently on Couchbase 4.1 (recently upgaded from 3.1.1). We’re using the following very vanilla set of options. Any ideas what this error means?

cbtransfer.exe -b [sourcebucket] -B [destbucket] http://[cbnode]:8091 http://[cbnode]:8091 -u [admin] -p [password]

Hi, @eben might be able to help you.

Hi,

Are you transferring between buckets on the same server, or between two different servers?

Thanks,

Between buckets on the same server.

Hi again Jeff,

That clearly shouldn’t be happening, and I’m working on reproducing it here so we can verify a fix.

As a work-around, are you able to use cbbackup to back up the original bucket, then cbrestore to restore it to the new bucket?

Regards,

-Eben

Thanks for looking into this eben.

As a workaround my developer wrote a small C# program to pump over the visits. That’s working for now, but ideally we’d also like the option to use the built in tools in the future.
