You'll be informed in case of about problems or conflicts between the source and destination projects, configuration elements, and users. The analysis will show an error message with detailed information about the detected problem. Learn more about the analysis process.

  11. If you have configuration errors or conflicts, you need to review and resolve them first. Then rerun the analysis.
