Thanks All for the help.
While the migration instructions say that SQL Server Express can be used, I believe SQL Server Express was the problem.
I uninstalled Express and installed Standard on my Epicor 9 server and I have gotten past this error and the migration process is running right now.
Based on some of the testing I did before uninstalling Express, I believe Express requires some additional configuration changes before you can use it to host the interim DB.
I’m not positive but having Standard work without any issue leads me to make this guess.
One thing that I didn’t know, which would have forced me to use Standard anyways, is that the max DB size is only 10GB in Express. Our Progress DB is 22GB so it’s likely the interim DB would have exceeded 10GB.
I hope this helps someone else down the road. :)

How I was able to get it to work is.
Create a blank DB in SQL and make sure you give permissions for the administrative account!! Use that DB as the interim DB for Migration.
Going back a couple steps. Do you know for sure the E9 DB is started?

Thanks Jose.
I tried this and got the same thing.
Here is what I did:
1) Shared the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA with a share name of DATA
2) Updated the Output folder to: \\SERVERNAME\DATA<file:///\\SERVERNAME\DATA>
3) Restarted the migrations process.
4) Same error
If I look in the output folder, I see the two database files (MDF, LDF), CreateDB.sql, and ProgressToSQLMigration_TableStatistics.txt
So it can access this folder and create files but still the same error.

You need to share the folder where your SQL DataBase will be created your temporary DB. And make that the output folder should be something like
C:\ProgramFIles\Microsoft SQL\MSSQL\DATa

Thanks Jose,
I reread the instructions and I missed this.
However, after making this change, the same thing happened.
I shared the output folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software Corporation\Database Manager Extensions\3.0.7\DB Migration\Progress Output) with a share name of “ProgressOutputâ€.
I then change the output folder to \\SERVERNAME\ProgressOutput<file:///\\SERVERNAME\ProgressOutput<file:///\\SERVERNAME\ProgressOutput%3cfile:\SERVERNAME\ProgressOutput>>
Do I have this right?

The output folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software Corporation\Database Manager Extensions\3.0.7\DB Migration\Progress Output
That needs to be (at least in my case when I've done it) that needs to be the same folder that contains your MDF SQL file for the Intermediate DB and it needs to be a shared location such as \\XX\myServer\XX<file:///\\XX\myServer\XX>
If you are installing the intermediate DB in the local SQL Express then make sure you share the folder where the DB will be placed and make that the Output Folder

Thanks for both responses.
We have one server that is setup as a 9.05.702A server that I installed the E10 Admin Console and SQL Server Express and our E10.0.700.2 is installed on a separate server.
I am running the database migration on the 9.05 server.
My Progress Parameter file path is valid. Just confirmed it.
The output folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software Corporation\Database Manager Extensions\3.0.7\DB Migration\Progress Output
There appear to be no other options for directories that I can change.
The process is creating the interim database in the output path above.
The whole thing only runs for less than a minute before it craps out.
Jose, to your reply, I’m not sure I follow. When you say “So it would be a shared directory on your sql server†do you mean on my E10 server or on the E9.05 server?

Hi All,
Just curious if anyone has run into this.
Following the migration instructions, I installed the E10 Epicor Administrator Console and SQL Server 2012 Express.
I started the Database Migration Process from the 702A server and on the first step, it is throwing the error below fairly quickly.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
