How to solve the error "Project type has changed since the latest published version (was Undefined, now is Process). Revert the project type or publish a new project"?

Issue Description

This error occurs when using the Automation Cloud Migration Tool to migrate from an On-Premise Orchestrator to Automation Cloud.

The Automation Cloud Migration Tool did not migrate a significant amount of the On-Premise packages, due to the following error:

"[YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME.Major.Minor.Patch.Suffix.nupkg] {"message":"Project type has changed since the latest published version (was Undefined, now is Process). Revert the project type or publish a new project.","errorCode":2007,"traceId":"00-xxx-xxx-01","resourceIds":null}"

This error is subsequently blocking the migration of the other processes.

Root Cause

ProjectType value from the [dbo].[PackageMetadata] table is causing the problem. When you publish any project from the 2018.4 version of Studio, it gets published with ProjectType as 0 which means Undefined.

Resolution

Approach #1

  1. Open the process in UiPath Studio
  2. Rename the project
  3. Publish it to the On-Premise Orchestrator tenant and retry the migration using the Automation Cloud Migration Tool
  4. Or publish directly from the UiPath Studio to the UiPath Cloud Orchestrator

Approach #2

  1. Download and install the NuGet Package Explorer from the Microsoft Store.
  2. Access the On-Premise Orchestrator -> Tenant -> Packages -> find the not migrated package process -> Version -> Download package

  1. Open the downloaded nupkg file with NuGet Package Explorer and access Edit Metadata Source

  1. Modify the value for and . Make sure that Title and Id have the same value and it is unique in the Orchestrator. Then Save the changes.

  1. Save the whole changes from File -> Save As -> Save.

  1. Access the On-Premise Orchestrator -> Tenant -> Packages -> Upload -> Browse for the nupkg file -> Upload it
  2. Add the process to your desired folder

  1. Retry the Migration Tool in order to see if the renamed package/process got migrated successfully
  2. Check if the process is working as it should
  3. Try this approach at the beginning only for one process and then perform the same for other impacted processes.


Approach #3

Note: It is suggested to get the help of a Database expert as UiPath never recommends any Database interactions.

  1. Access the On-Premise Orchestrator database
  2. Create a backup for the [dbo].[PackageMetadata]
  3. Download locally all affected package versions from your On-Premise Orchestrator
  4. Update the ProjectType value to 0 for the not migrated/impacted processes in the [dbo].[PackageMetadata] table

Example (adapt it based on your package Identifier and versions as you have in the [dbo].[PackageMetadata] table):

UPDATE [uipath].[dbo].[PackageMetadata]

SET [ProjectType]=0

WHERE [Identifier] = 'YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME' AND ([Version] = '1.0.9' OR [Version] = '1.0.7')

5. Retry the Migration Process and check if the previously not migrated processes are now migrated in the UiPath Cloud Orchestrator Tenant.

Note:

  • Make sure that the UiPath Robots and UiPath Orchestrators are on the same version all the time. Hence, consider upgrading the UiPath Robot/UiPath Orchestrator to match versions.
  • ProjectType possible values in UiPath Orchestrator:

Undefined -> 0

Process -> 1

ProcessLibrary -> 2

BusinessProcess ->3

BusinessProcessLibrary -> 4

TestAutomationProcess -> 5

Just changed the version number and that worked for me.
Example: Last version number was 1.0.89 and changed to 1.1.2 and that worked.

Please try and let us know if that worked
