Hi Aamer

Probably what is happening is that the new database has some constraints
that the old one doesn't. We have had some issues with hibernate in the
past, and for certain databases that means that many of the constraints was
not applied..

If you look at the messages, you will see that e.g `shortName` must be
unique for data elements.. the list of errors is not big though, probably
you can go through the payload and manually update the objects which has
issues?

Another issue I see is that you are importing users, and those UIDs was
only stabilized in 2.23.. so you might want to also manually update those
(again, should not be a big job), this is not done as a startup routine..
just done when creating the admin user etc in a fresh database
