The following error has occurred and is not recoverable.  Once this message box is closed, Project Merge Wizard will close.  Object 'XXX' cannot be saved because it is only partially defined.

 
 
The DSSErrors.log will also reveal:

2017-12-05 09:04:07.392-06:00 Examining Object(Name="DEV" Type=Folder ID=F99DCF3E407D94757915FC9BB8E8A72D Proj=35634B814E1B9C3B45AA629E45AEF3A3 Ver=BFEDD2FB11E237DC59430080EF757035 ), replacement path = "Public Objects\Reports\Mail Quality Reporting"
2017-12-05 09:04:07.423-06:00 ... no corresponding object in destination, so object will be merged
2017-12-05 09:04:07.501-06:00 Failed while merging collection of extended objects, error code 0x8004142B
2017-12-05 09:04:08.439-06:00 Source manipulator exited abnormally while a bulk merge was in progress

 
NOTE: This issue can also occur during an Object Manager migration as well.
CAUSE:
The object ID referenced in the error message was a folder object in the source project.  The destination project was having problems with creating this particular folder object that did not exist in the destination project.
 
ACTION:
This issue is fixed in the Strategy 10.4 product release.
 
WORKAROUND:
In this particular instance there was a folder object called DEV as seen in the Client Services -> Source Manipulator trace that was causing the issue.
To workaround the issue, prior to performing the Project Merge, create a folder object in the same location within the destination project called "DEV" (the name of the object causing the error in the Source Manipulator trace).
