zeljko_gavrilov — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:13:53 GMT

I followed next instructions to export repository and import it on onother host, but bootstrap failed. 1. I exported full repository (package name 'export')2. I created new databas

The error occurs on my attribute-names in my customModel. I use spaces in my property-names. Is this allowed? The Model works fine so along on the original V2.1.0-System.

I don't think spaces work in property names. That will the problem with your custom model - the XML parser is blowing up at that point.

We will try to come up with some instructions to apply the fixes from 2.2(nightly build) to 2.1 community and post them shortly.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanx for reply. But for now i have one problem, because our customModel with Spaces in the property-names runs well in our production-system. But i must make a backup-system with full repository export.
Is there any possibility to correct the property-names in a working system?

Re: Problem importing full repository?! Alfresco 2.1.0

It is possible to correct the data in the export files. All the properties for objects are exported in the various XML files inside the ACP files. You would have to perform a find-and-replace across those XML files and fix up the property names with spaces in. Then equally fix up the model files on the system that is going to accept the import. It should then import into 2.2dev.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello Kevinr,
can you explain us what's happening about full repository export/import process. Is this bug in 2.1.0 version or I made some mistakes ?! You can see in my previous post how I tried to import repository… Can we import our full repository and how ?! Could you explain us how to do that , It's pretty important to me and probably to many other Alfresco users…
thanks !

Re: Problem importing full repository?! Alfresco 2.1.0

There is a bug in 2.1 Community Full Import. It means you cannot import a full Export from 2.1 server into another 2.1 server. NOTE: Cross version Full Export->Import is not and has never been supported - i.e. you cannot Full Export from a server of version X and expect it to Import into a server of version Y - you need to upgrade the servers to the same version first.

So, you can only Export and then Import to servers of the same version. And due to the 2.1 bug (which is fixed in 2.1Enterprise and also in 2.2dev - a nightly build) you need to upgrade any 2.1 Community server to either 2.1Enterprise or 2.2dev before you can Export->Import. Appologies for this.

Thanks,

Kevin

Is there any workaround to make a Full Export / Import in 2.1 Community ?

For example, exporting the database and copying the repository manually or any other solution.

Which steps should be taken?

Thank you

Re: Problem importing full repository?! Alfresco 2.1.0

A full export of the DB plus a copy of the alf_data directory is all the data required to copy/restore any instance of Alfresco. Make sure you export the FULL db (you have to select a checkbox for this in the MySQL admin console) and take the entire alf_data structure too.

Thanks,

Kevin

Is there any problem in doing a cross-platform copy of the alf_data directoy? (from a Windows to a Linux for example)

Is there a recommended way of doing this copy?

Thanks

Re: Problem importing full repository?! Alfresco 2.1.0

kevinr — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:37:25 GMT

The alf_data folder and filenames are generated the same for all systems (year/date/time for the folder structure and GUID for the filename). There should be no problems coping between systems.

Thanks,

Kevin
