Specifying the job in  <convertWS3Objects> tag in migrationconfig.xml and making sure that the proper connection is used for uc4onfig.xml does not fix this issue. 

Environment

Release : 12.3

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Resolution

This seems to be an issue with the soap migration tool on 4.6.1. In the meantime, as a workaround, use the migration tool bundled with the RA.SOAP 4.5.3 or older version.
