Hello again,

something even worse happens during the upgrade process: versions get deleted!

I set up a fresh alfresco, added 3 simple text files, made them versionable, made some versions (changing the content each time). Then I took the whole data over to alfresco 3.0, the migration finished without any errors in the log, however, only the last version of each item still exists - which is quite pointless, as they are equal to their corresponding current element, anyways.

I would consider both behaviors (this one and previous post) serious bugs. I have to trust alfresco, that I can preserve our data somehow and use it in recent versions. We are stuck to 2.9 for now.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi folks,

I haven't found any solution so far. Thus, if nobody has any idea I'll file a jira issue for this. Any hints what I should look at before?

Tim

Hello,

some weeks ago I filed a jira issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-2658

However, no response so far. Has anybody successfully migrated the version store? Is it my fault?

Tim
