Issue/Introduction

When trying to migrate a Gen 8.6 Action Block containing a Call External, from a CSE development model to a production model, the migration fails as it is missing required objects that are created by the model conversion process.   

Sample error message:   

*** MIGRATION DID NOT COMPLETE SUCCESSFULLY ***

Resolution

Need to convert the target/Production model prior to the migration, such that users can migrate the web service call code (Call External Action Block code) from the Development model to the Production model.  This will resolve this particular error on the migration process.
