Hello, I am upgrading from ironwood to juniper. I have restored mysql and mongodb from ironwood to juniper. In running juniper migration $ /edx/app/edx\_ansible/edx\_ansible/util/install/native.sh --tags migrate, I have received “You must define OPENEDX\_RELEASE”. How can i solve this? Please help me. ---

Hello @HlaThit, You must have forgotten to set `OPENEDX_RELEASE` variable. You can set it like this: ```auto export OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/juniper.master ``` ---
