I have been worked with AWX in production along a year with the version 2.1.2. When I migrated from 1.0.6 to 2.1.2 version, I used tower-cli with receive and send options. Now I have tried the same procedure to migrate the objects. When I have imported the credential, projects, teams I don´t have any problem, but when I trie to import the job\_template it doesn´t go ok. It appears allways the next error message: **Option credential is not a valid option for job\_template xxxxx** Is it possible import a object of AWX 2.1.2 version to AWX 7.0.0? What is the procedure? ---

This is a known bug in tower\_cli. It will not likely be fixed there though, and instead usage will shift over to awx cli, powered by awxkit. ---

I installed awx from github [https://github.com/ansible/awx/tree/devel/awxkit/awxkit/cli/docs](https://github.com/ansible/awx/tree/devel/awxkit/awxkit/cli/docs) with this command: ```auto pip install "https://github.com/ansible/awx/archive/7.0.0.tar.gz#egg=awxkit&subdirectory=awxkit" awx --help ``` And It works. Is there any option as tower-cli receive/send in awx-cli? Is there any procedure to migrate data from AWX2.1.2 to 7.0.0? resource login authenticate and retrieve an OAuth2 token config print current configuration values job\_templates (job\_template) metrics job\_events inventory\_scripts (inventory\_script) labels (label) schedules (schedule) workflow\_job\_nodes instances (instance) instance\_groups (instance\_group) credential\_types (credential\_type) teams (team) inventory\_updates (inventory\_update) system\_jobs workflow\_jobs (workflow\_job) ad\_hoc\_commands (ad\_hoc) project\_updates (project\_update) ping inventory (inventories) config credential\_input\_sources inventory\_sources (inventory\_source) jobs (job) users (user) organizations (organization) notification\_templates (notification\_template) tokens unified\_jobs applications (application) groups (group) unified\_job\_templates credentials (credential) workflow\_approvals workflow\_job\_template\_nodes (node) projects (project) me workflow\_job\_templates (workflow) roles (role) notifications settings (setting) system\_job\_templates hosts (host) activity\_stream ---

I actually believe this will need to be addressed on the tower-cli side as a stop-gap measure, only because it is vastly easier than the alternatives. I have one test in the AWX collection which is marked as xfail right now for this bug. I have some prior attempts at the problem lying around, but we updated the error handling to rase 400 errors in this case. You’re seeing that message. This is better than silently failing to copy the credentials in my book. This also gives some more options to catch and detect the error in tower-cli and make decisions based on that. I’m am still unsure of exact details of the solution right now, but it’s a known issue and a fix is planned for the sake of both the functionality of the AWX collection and send/receive.
