VaultBCP tool error on import

[mark.cloyed]

I am working in Vault Professional 2013 SP1 with the corresponding VaultBCP tool.  I have a production vault that resides in Japan on a server running a Japanese OS and an English version of Vault Pro.  I have taken a backup of that vault and restored it onto an English OS server with an English version of Vault Pro (no Japanese language pack installed).  I export the vault configuration successfully and I am successful running the VaultBCP to export the vault.  My destination server is an English OS with an English Vault Pro (no Japanese language pack installed).  I am successful importing the vault configuration.  When I compare the source and destination vaults, I see that both have UDPs having Kanji names.  The property definitions look to be correct in both vaults.  When I try to import using the VaultBCP, I receive an error of a property definition not found, and the error is displayed in a stack trace error.  I have listed the error below.  I note the file specified in the error.  When I look up that file in the export, I believe it is the first file that includes those property definitions in Kanji. 

I need to find a solution to this problem so that the vault merge can be completed.  Does anyone have experience here that can comment as to whether this is simply a language pack issue, of does the tool lack some sort of understanding of the destination environment?

Thanks,
Mark

I recently had a similar issue while using the VAULTBCP tool. I found there was a property from a vault many release older (2008 or 2009) and it would not transfer usinng the BCP tool.

To over come the issue I manually created the property in the new vault using the same parameters that existed in the old vault. I then re-ran the tool and it recognized the nnew property and populated it correctly.

Not sure if this is the same error you have but it might be worth a try.
