Pega 7.3 to 8.4 Upgrdade Migrate script issue
Created new schema for PegaRULES as PegaRULES8, and updated the migrateSystem.properties with required values as mentioned in 8.4 upgrade document. on running the migrate.bat file attached errors are appearing.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue and how to resolve

Looks like the error complains about migration.xml is not in UTF-8 format, not uncommon error, e.g., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/115210/how-to-check-whether-a-file-is-valid-utf-8.
Sometimes I run dos2unix to convert to unix format, it solves some strange errors. Also, do you have a unix box you can run the migration script? Give it try there if possible. Even on windows I use Gitbash where you can run unix-like commands.

Hi,
Could you post highlevel implemention steps that you followed to upgrade from 7.3 to 8.4.
Did you have a fresh installation of 8.4 and then migrated your application to it?
