Streaming bulk import - file versioning

Hi,I'm having issues understanding how bulk import works. I've tried the following steps:1. Import D:/Alfresco/v1/file.txt to /Company Home/Test folder using streaming import The file is imported as expected, having only one version 1.02. Then I tried importing v2 of the file D:/Alfresco/v2/file.txt

Hello,

Here is the official documentation of Bulk Import tool
http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/Bulk-Import-Tool.html

As stated in http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/bulk-import-via-the-ui.html
The Replace existing files option indicates whether to replace nodes that already exist in the repository (checked) or skip them (unchecked). Note that if versioning is enabled for a node, the node's existing content and metadata is preserved as the prior version and the new content and/or metadata will be written into the head revision.

Which means if you have file.txt with two versions and you import another file.txt in same path with Replace existing files checked, it will create new version(may be 2.1 or 3.0).

I think its not possible to import only version file as you tried in step 2. You should give file name as file.txt only and check Replace existing files. Import tool will create new version accordingly.

Hope this helps.
