First off, I'm following the guided setup, and I've gone through this process on two instances already, but having been through twice now, I'm not sure I'm doing this the best way.
The main issue is that when I try to migrate my ServiceNow search from Zing to AI Search, I get the following error in the migration log when running the migration tool:
- "[Converter] Error: Table: sys_user_group is expected to create an Indexed Source only through the "AI Search Index Sources" plugin. Please activate this plugin before running the migration job"
- Where "sys_user_group" is like 20-30 different tables that this comes up for, one by one, each error halting the migration+indexing process.
The error, as stated, is not accurate. I already have the AI Search plugin installed. There is no plugin specifically titled "AI Search Index Sources" though the table with that name is installed when I install the AI Search plugin.
Now, I can fix this error by going into the indexed sources table and creating a source for the table "sys_user_group", and if I do this for every table the migration errors on, it eventually does work. However, I'm not sure this is the correct way to remediate this error. There are other tables that do not already have an existing AI Search Indexed Source record, that never error out, and in fact create this record during the migration. My impression, perhaps inaccurate, is that when I run the migration tool, it is supposed to create any AI Search Indexed Sources that are required by that Search Application.
So what does this error actually mean, and is there a more effective way to remediate this error other than to create every indexed source it errors on?

@John from Space Have you activated sn_aisearch_global
? We haven’t activated AI Search Index Sources explicitly, but we were still able to migrate from Zing to AI Search. I'm sharing a document that should be helpful for you! https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-platform-administration/page/administer/ai-search/ta...
