Alfresco 3.2 and Record Management Module Explosions!

[craigt]

Hi Everyone,

I've setup Alfresco 3.2 with CAS SSO & MySQL, on Centos 5.3 x64bit.
Everything was working fine until I installed the "Records Management Module".
download: http://process.alfresco.com/ccdl/?file=release/community/build-2039/alfresco-recordsmanagement-unsup...

Question 1) Is the Records Management Module not needed in v3.2?
From our reading, Alfresco 3.2 now contains a number of Record Management features automatically.  (Ref: http://newton.typepad.com/content/2009/07/new-alfresco-32-was-designed-for-the-credit-crunch.html). However User Guide, appears to still talk about installing the module, Ref: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Records_Management_User_Guide, is it possible this just hasn't been updated yet for v3.2?

Question 2) If answer to question 1 is "yes the module is still needed". Then any advice the on below errors would be much appreciated,

Regards,
Craig

We (the Engineering Team) thought there might be some confusion around RM following the recent press releases. That (unsupported) RM amp is for the JSF client and - as you've found out - has some problems. I recommend you replace the alfresco.war with the backup to get your system working again.

The DoD 5015.2 certification work that's currently in progress is for the Share web client. It's not complete, but there's some groundwork in-place in 3.2 to enable it to be delivered in September.

From a end-user point of view, you should ignore the RM part of the press release and look to September for the new RM module.

Thanks,
Mike

[craigt]

ok well, question answered.
Thanks,

Craig

[luckyo]

Thank you for your nice. I have the same problem like you ^0^.

I am waiting for new RM module.

I've the same problem, but caused in a different way, so I'm not sure if I should write here or open a new thread.
I've the same problem as the error is being thrown by the groups bootstrap, and I copied - ops: I mean - was inspired by Record Management for my own group import.

The main problem is that the authorities container appears to be moved from the userStrore the the spacesStore, is this a mistake or is intentional? Because IMHO it made more sense in the user store than in the current position.

So when importing a group into /sys:system/sys:authorities you get

Caused by: org.alfresco.service.cmr.view.ImporterException: Path /sys:system/sys:authorities within node user://alfrescoUserStore/bb6e0ce9-110a- … b98476e7d5 does not exist - the path must resolve to a valid location

Because user://alfrescoUserStore/ node is there but /sys:system/sys:authorities is not there any more!

sorry for english

repack alfresco-recordsmanagement-unsupported.amp with changes…
