Hello @Aveeva 

This error is syntax error, you missed one tag "<" in vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.2.3/config.xml file,

Please review once or paste code here.

Hi @Aveeva 

The error you are getting has nothing todo with the code you showed.

As it says, a layout xml update cannot be parsed.

In your case, you would have to check with defined xml file. Your problem is with that file and malformed xml.

Don't literally expect a missing < (but could be) You can, for example, have a missing closing " somewhere.

It may help!

@gaurav_harsh1 @Bhanu Periwal  What is the error in this code : 

https://paste.ofcode.org/FrWUDnUGrZSttAUVJ5yi9S

[gaurav_harsh1]

@Aveeva 

You can check by removing all code inside <config> tag, if still it throws error then we can look into other file, if issue doesn't appear after removing, then check by removing few lines of code later.

Hi @Aveeva,

Can you please confirm did you change any other file as well(xml file) in the data-migration-tool.

If yes, can you please  send those files as well.

Hope this helps you!

@Nishu Jindal  No, I just follow Magento doc.

steps:

Under  vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.2.3

> config.xml.dist to  config.xml

>map.xml.dist to map.xml - change in config.xml( <map_file>etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.2.3/map.xml</map_file>  )

>copy settingx.xml.dist from vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/etc/opensource-to-opensource to vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.2.3 as a setttings.xml and change in config.xml ( <settings_map_file>etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.2.3/settings.xml</settings_map_file>  )

@Bhanu Periwal  I just checked line by line, i don't miss anything then why this error occurs.

Error :

In Dom.php line 455:

Start tag expected, '<' not found
Line: 1

Hi @Aveeva,

Just want to understand your requirement. Are you specifying some new rules for the settings migration. If yes, then please share your settings.xml file as well.

If you are not specifying new rules, then there is no need to copy settings.xml file in the specific folder and mentioned in the config.xml. check here

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/migration/migration-migrate-settings.html

Try to change your settings.xml path like before in config.xml and try to run settings migration.

Hope this helps you!
