ACP File Unzip Issues

sykospark — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 18:21:21 GMT

Hello!I have been using the export directory option in Alfresco, which creates an acp bundle. I download it and try to unzip it with 7-zip but then all the image files are 0 kb (and I see an error saying 'invalid compression' during unzip).Is there a difference software I should be using to unzip? O

Did you try to import the same acp in to another space in Alfresco? I think 7-zip doesn't recognize acp as a valid compressed file.

Try this addon for share [urlhttp://addons.alfresco.com/addons/compress-and-download-share-action-zip

Hi Sujay,
Thanks for your reply. I need the acp file to be imported into a non alfresco system for data transfer purposes. Hence they export of all the files and the xml with the data points/structure. Do you know what unzip software recognizes acp? Thanks again!!

Oh I just saw your comment about the add on. I can try to integrate that but am also still interested in an external fix, as I am unsure if I can get the add on integrated due to a lack of resources

I don't know any other softwares which can extract acp.

Installing the addon http://labs.atolcd.com/projects/zip-and-download/files is simple. you just need to download the jar files and place it in appropriate location as below-

== Installing JARs for Alfresco 4 ==

1. Stop Alfresco
   a. Run alfresco.sh stop (or alf_stop.bat)

2. Copy JAR files
   a. Copy "share-zip-contents-action.jar" into the "/tomcat/shared/lib/" folder of your Alfresco.

   b. Copy "zip-contents-alfresco-webscript.jar" into the "/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/" folder of your Alfresco.

3. Start Alfresco
   a. Run alfresco.sh start (or alf_start.bat)

The other option is you can use the CIFS option or connect to alfresco using FTP and download the required files.

Let me know if you need any help in integrating the addon.
