Full Export

lock999 — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 20:50:32 GMT

Are categories exported when we do a full repository export? If not, is there any other method to export all categories?Thanks

Yes categories are exported with a full export. I don't believe there is any other way in the UI at present.

Thanks,

Kevin

I use Alfresco V2.0 CE with SuSE Linux V10.2 and MySQL.
The Full Export in the UI does not work for me (it hangs and do nothing a long time with no error-logs).
Is there a possibility to do a full export of repository, database (user, categories and so on) manually at command line interface. I want to copy my complete Alfresco to another server. The Documentation in the wiki and forum is very incomplete

I have also run into this problem in V2.0 on CentOS and Mysql. UI export (background or not) does nothing (with no error logs). I have been searching for a way to do full export with varied results and versions.

any help would be appriciated

Thanks

Just i have found the Export-Files at unexpected location:
You can find your FullExport.acp-Files with Linux-Shell in the directory
opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp/*

Wonder…. :roll: :?

Hmmmm … you are correct ..

but I did get the UI export to work by setting my heap size larger

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -server

Don't know why I did not check this before ops:

now to try to get an import to work :lol:

Thanx! I will try to increase the HeapSize in the alfresco.sh with export JAVA_OPTS=

( edit ) Found the bootstrap import method ( /edit )

Re: Full Export

schneika — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:53:50 GMT

Perhaps you mean the Bootstrap-Import-Method described in the wiki

[

[list]edit] Bootstrap destination Repository from ACP files exported from Full Export 
The Alfresco Repository supports a bootstrap process which is initiated whenever the Repository is first started. The process populates the Repository with information that is required upon first login such as system users, data dictionary definitions and important root folders. 

The bootstrap process is configurable allowing the population of any information during the first start of the Repository. It is this configurability that allows a Repository to be bootstrapped from an existing 'Full Repository Export' as described in step 1. Upon startup of the Repository, all information exported from the source Repository is imported, so that once started, the new Repository will look just like the source Repository. 

Note: When exporting and importing from an older Repository version to a newer Repository version, all applicable patches are automatically applied. 

The steps for configuring the bootstrap process for a full restore are: 

Install Alfresco, but do not start (or ensure existing Alfresco installation is configured against an empty database and file system). 
Rename existing restore-context.xml.sample to restore-context.xml and place into the configuration extension directory /alfresco/extension. 
By default, restore-context.xml assumes a package name of 'Export' was used. If this is not the case, replace all occurrances of Export with your package name. 
More precisely you shoud replace any occurence of "export" (and not "Export", as there is no occurence of such a string within the provided restore-context.xml.sample file). Shouldn't you ? 
Create a directory called restore within /alfresco/extension. 
Place the exported files from the source Repository into /alfresco/extension/restore. 
Start Alfresco 
If configured correctly, log messages detailing the import of each backup file are presented to the Alfresco server console. 

TODO: Where is restore-context.xml.sample in install? 

The restore-context.xml.sample file can be found in various locations, depending on the distribution of Alfresco you download. If you installed the JBoss distribution, you can find the restore-context.xml.sample in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/alfresco/extension/. For other distributions, the location of this extension directory may be slightly different.[/list]‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Yep — Found that too .. I am going to give it a test run today …

Now i have done more tests but without any positiv result.
I want to transfer a Full Export from a V2.0.0 CE-Installation to a fresh V2.1.0r2-Installation with the bootstrap Import-method. The UI-Export on 2.0 does not work fÃƒÂ¼r me (just with bigger heapsize) so i copy and rename the files from \tomcat\temp.
While the Bootsrap-Import on the V2.1.0r2-Installation i get the following error-log:
