Step 4 (Categories) broken

We’ve just purchased UB Data Migration Pro (3.2.3) and trying to migrate our Magento 1.9.3.8 to Magento 2.3.4
We configured the settings via Admin UI and running the tool from CLI.
Our dataset is the following:
Categories: 7000
Product Attributes: 140
Products: 6000
Orders: 200K
Customers: 50K
Customer Attributes: 60
 
We have an issue with rendering Step 4 settings. This step is just empty and we cannot specify Categories to migrate.
We also found several related issues here and tried to apply a patch to ub-tool/protected/views/step4/setting.php
Everything we achieved is “Select All” checkbox visible, which is good enough for us.
However, I have a couple of questions here.

  1. Is there a way to get Step 4 working? I hope I do not need to purchase another module like Mega-menu to get it working
  2. Is there a way to configure Categories migration in other way as Admin IU? Some file?

Hi there,
I am sorry for replying to you this late as we’ve just been back from our weekend. 

Is there a way to get Step 4 working? I hope I do not need to purchase another module like Mega-menu to get it working

It seems that the issue you mentioned in step #4 occurred because you had a big volume of categories in M1 database (Categories: 7000). 

You don’t need to purchase any Mega Menu extension. Please continue with the ‘Select All’ option as a workaround that you applied:

No, it’s a pity that our migration tool doesn’t support that option.

Thank you for the answer.

because you had a big volume of categories in M1 database (Categories: 7000). 

I see you point, however I would recommend you guys to fix the issue. 
The extension belongs to high-price range and not handling 7k categories looks unprofessional.
Magento category management somehow renders categories tree, no matter how many categories the database.
When people pay around $500 for the extension, UI issues should be the first-class citizens in your backlog. Why should I bother by applying patched from everywhere found in the f.a.q.?
cheers

Hi there, 

Thanks for sharing with us the detailed feedback, our development team will check for further improvements. 

Meanwhile, please help to move forward with the migration following the ‘Select All’ workaround as you applied:

We also found several related issues here and tried to apply a patch to ub-tool/protected/views/step4/setting.php

Regarding the point: 

We have an issue with rendering Step 4 settings. This step is just empty and we cannot specify

Actually, besides the big volume of categories, there’s a high chance that the PHP’s max_in_put_vars param was not sufficient to handle that volume of categories (not that our module does not support). So, please try to increase the max_input_vars=10000, then back to the original code file ub-tool/protected/views/step4/setting.php and let me know how it goes then.

So, please try to increase the max_input_vars=10000

we did this. Basically the extension told us to do so, there was an error message. Which is good.
At the moment we have no blockers that prevent us from migration. It does the job.

thanks
