Bootstrapping and Import Problems with 1.4 Community

[gj]

I'm getting errors when attempting to bootstrap an new installation of Alfresco Community 1.4 with a full Repository export. I've followed instructions as per the Wiki, but am running into problems with the content I'm trying to import. Specifically, there are some 2 integrity violations. Here's the output that caused the bootstrap failure:

Thanks in advance for any and all help

I also had this problem when trying to import my test repository data into a new installation.

The problem is that the contraints on file/name properties have changed from Alfresco 1.3 to 1.4.

The solution is to correct the invalid file/name properties in the export description XML file so that it imports correctly.

This is easy to do as an export file (.acp) is just a ZIP file with a specific structure. Simply unpack the acp file to disk and edit the single .xml file you find in the root of the unpacked structure. This file contains the meta-data description of the content files and folders to import. Search in the file for the node Ids mentioned in your exception report, and then correct the filename and cm:name attributes for those records to only contain valid filename characters as per the regular expression. Then zip back up the ACP file and try you import again - this worked for me!

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Thanks for the info Kevin. I ended up clearing out my deleted files in the original repository, which is where those bogus filenames were. I did, however, need to edit the .xml file in the export file anyway (to remove all the rma namespace references) as I was going from a pre-release version of 1.4 - so thanks for that advice too!
