    Hi null null ,

     

    I don't know the specifics of the migration tool but those messages would normally mean the following:-

     

    1. File is locked - someone has open or has recently had open the file.  - Suggest you make the content read only before migrating to get around that. 

    2. Unauthorized access to source file  - The user you are running the migration as does not have access to the file. 

    3. Unauthorized access to source folder  - The user you are running the migration as does not have access to the folder.
