Replication error: Aspect is invalid

xarope — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:24:26 GMT

To simulate a HQ->regional office setup, I've setup replication between a master site (Alfresco Community 4.0d) and a secondary, test, site (Alfresco Community 4.0b), by:1) enabling "replication.enabled=true" and "replication.transfer.readonly=false" in alfresco-global.properties2) added the repo

I think one of your repos is missing an aspect defintion. In particular sys:hidden is a very new aspect that may not exist in
Alfresco Community 4.0b.

Can you make both repos the same version?

You can configure the transfer service to strip out the hidden aspect.
Or add the definition of the hidden aspect to your 4.0b repo/

But please raise a JIRA since it makes little sense to transfer a hidden file in the first place.

Thanks, so literally the aspect is called sys:hidden?

I've raised https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-13593

I do plan to update the target server to 4.0d, but it was an interesting exercise to see how the various different versions would cope (since in production, likely the regional servers will not be in sync in terms of versions all the time), so at least now I know we do have to be careful about the versions.

With regards to your comment about "You can configure the transfer service to strip out the hidden aspect. ", how would I do that? I don't see anything in particular about this in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Transfer_Service.
