`Missing factory` warning when running zodbupdate

Zope

Hi,

looks like this is the final test run before also updating my live site to Python 3.

When I run zodbupate
work/zope3/bin/zodbupdate --pack --convert-py3 --encoding utf-8 --file work/zeo3/db-bliss/Data.fs
I get the following warning:
Warning: Missing factory for App.Product ProductFolder

The script runs and shows no errors, though.

Is this something I should care about? What exactly does this mean and why do I get this message?

Thank you!

P.S.: zodbverify does not show any problems for the converted db

seems that the migration documentation says you do not have to worry about

This is likely due to the removed App.Product module in Zope >= 4.x ... AFAIK this is the "Product Management" link in the Control_Panel which doesn't exist anymore.

Thank you!

I remember something like "Make sure to start your app at least once with Zope 4 /Python 2, so "xxx" gets deleted before converting to Python 3."

My app runs on Zope 4 for quite a while, so that cannot be the problem.

Maybe this is an oversight in Zope 4?
