Hi.I have no disk space for my tennant. I tried to change the location in Alf_Atributes to a new disk (\\newServer\resource), but when login in the tennant and try open the root space, give me this errorrg.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.InvalidNodeRefException: Node does not exist: workspace://S

Your first port of call should be Alfresco support.

However if you are trying to move your entire content store to another larger filesystem then you shouldn't be touching Alf_Attributes.

Hi,

In my case, I needed some free space in the server also so I tried do move a tenant repository to another place.

My tenants were saved at:
D:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore-tenant\tentant1_com_br
D:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore-tenant\tentant2_com_br
D:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore-tenant\tentant3_com_br

I moved tenant2_com_br to another place "C:\desktop\tenants\" and changed mysql table (alf_attributes) field (string_value) to C:\desktop\tenants\tentant2_com_br, restarted the server and worked !

Is this solution ok? Are there any problems doing this?
I am worried because you said not touching alf_attributes.

Please help?

I discovered that upgrading Alfresco breaks tenants that where created using the repository default root contentstore. The previous version was installed at /opt/alfresco-4.2.b/ and the tenants contentstore directory was still pointing to /opt/alfresco-4.2.b/alf_data/contentstore. I had to modify that in the database:


UPDATE alfresco.alf_tenant SET content_root = '/opt/alfresco-4.2.f/alf_data/contentstore' WHERE alf_tenant.tenant_domain = 'acme';

Unfortunately the wiki page for the General Upgrade Process does not take enabled multi tenancy into account (yet).

Hi urx,

I saw your reply about upgrade alfresco can breaking multi tenancy and I would like to see if you can help me.

I am using Alfresco 3.2r multi tenancy. I need to upgrade this but I don't know how to do ir surely, I am kind worry because my costumers are using it. So, as I am runing out of space on my server, for now I needed some free space so I tried to move the tenant repository (for some tenants) to another place.

I did a test. My tenants were saved at:
C:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore-tenant\tentant1_com_br
D:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore-tenant\tentant2_com_br
D:\Alfresco\alf_data\contentstore-tenant\tentant3_com_br

I tried to move tenant2_com_br to another place "E:\Alfresco\alf_data\" so I changed mysql table (alf_attributes) field (string_value) to E:\Alfresco\alf_data\tentant2_com_br
It creates a tentant2_com_br folder in the new location but all the content folders remained in the old place… It didn't change the location actually.

Could you help me please?
