Bootstrap importing of a repository fails

[aatamer]

Could anybody please help me with an import of an alfresco repository? I'm migrating from a linux / mysql version to a windows / MSSQL Server version of Alfresco.  I followed the import instructions in the Alfresco book on p 289 to do the bootstrap import of the full repository but got the following error in the logs:

16:03:38,753 ERROR [catalina.session.ManagerBase] IOException while loading persisted sessions: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.alfresco.web.ui.common.component.UIListItem

Initially it was complaining about a missing NetBiosXXX.dll library, but I copied it over to the Java libraries.  What now?

Hi,

Try cleaning out the persisted sessions before you start.
