OrientDb: Error while importing Neo4J database through GraphML importation

I'm trying to import a Neo4j database, I'm following these steps:

  • Export the Neo4j database to a graphml file as explained in this page: Import from Neo4j using GraphML

  • Import the graphml file to a new database in OrientDb.

I receive the following error:

!ERROR: Error on importing GraphML
-> Current state = END_ELEMENT is not among the states CHARACTERS , COMMENT , CDATA , SPACE valid for getTextStart()
Solution

  • You are following an deprecated process to import from Neo4j to OrientDB. From the docs linked by you:

    This is a legacy strategy to migrate from Neo4j. The new strategy is to migrate using the Neo4j to OrientDB Importer.

    You should use the new "Neo4j to OrientDB Importer" strategy, presented in this link.
