Once the FEP7 installation is done and the starter store is published with some example data, the next step is the SOLR index configuration (setupSearchIndex), pre-process (di-preprocess) and build (di-buildindex).
However, during the pre-process step I faced an interesting exception. In fact, running the following command
di-preprocess.bat <WC_installfolder>\search\pre-processConfig\MC_<catalogId>\DB2
the process ended with the exception:
