Note: In the xml file ,

<!-- Verify does a precheck to ensure all pre-requisites are met, before the conversion is attempted. Allowable values are: YES|NO|ONLY -->
        <n:Convert verify="ONLY"> ------> this value does only check the pre-requisites.

In order to convert we should specify YES value


<!-- Verify does a precheck to ensure all pre-requisites are met, before the conversion is attempted. Allowable values are: YES|NO|ONLY -->
        <n:Convert verify="YES"> ------> this value does the convention from non-rac to rac.
