Custom Model - 01200024 Invalid node ref

[eddiem]

Hi,
I've created a custom model (Special Offer V2) & all was well - however, I changed the model slightly & now I get this error within Explorer. I presume this is because existing documents use the outdated version of the model. I've reverted to the original model but the error persists.

The model file itself validates as xml (within Netbeans), so I can't see where the error ref: 'does not contain forward slash' originates from.
Here's the custom model snippet:

Here's the start of the error output in alfresco.log - it doesn't give any indication as to where in the custom model the error occurs:

Any clues much appreciated!

Thanks

This error is because - NodeRef.java is looking for (in the existing documents) for an index of the forward slash and take the noderef for further processing.
However, due to your extension of the model and those associated documents still exist in your repository.

If I were you, I will remove all the existing documents (if it is not a production system?!) and try uploading the contents again - not a great solution, but it might work! If not, re-indexing (/index full recovery) might help as well?!

Note: I don't have any advice if it is a production system.

Hi sslevan,
Thanks for your explanation.

No, this is a dev/test system, so removing the docs is ok - but how to remove them?!

Thanks
Eddie

Connect via WebDAV and perform bulk delete of documents going to every folder.
Please make sure you have back up of those documents.

Thank you
