Issue description
We are workingon the production migration and had several assemblies that failed with thefollowing error
** 2018-12-03 14:48:05.908 generateEPF() failed for10109330_02.CATProduct : Error: Failed to generate EPF
*** 2018-12-03 14:48:05.908 Error: Cannot locateexchange file
*** 2018-12-03 14:48:06.142 Cannot locate exchangefile
We trackeddown the issue for one assembly of the assemblies to one single component[30057967-PWE2] that was already successfully migrated.
Today wefound out that the assembly can be migrated when the component [30057967-PWE2]is remigrated in the same session. When it is only reused then the error occursagain.
Unfortunatelythis component is a standard part that is re-used in lots of assemblies.
This issueis very urgent since the end user are now trained in NX and should start towork with the first assemblies.
EXPECTATIONS:
We needsupport from mig lab to fix this issue.
