Custom types - deployment through FSTR

[kishor_gandham]

Hi All,

Apologies if I am posting this question in the wrong forum…

I have created a new type by extending cm:content. I am able to create new content of this custom type via Alfresco share. The new type captures some additional meta data for content (ex: department name etc.. for images, videos etc…).

Now I want to export the content from Alfresco repository to a file system. I have been able to configure Alfresco FSTR (file system transfer receiver). However, when I run the replication job to transfer the content, it is failing with NullPointerException. Upon further checks, I realize that this problem doesnt exist when I try to replicate cm:content type assets and comes up only when I try to replicate sub types of cm:content.

I am not sure if this is a limitation of alfresco FSTR or if I missed any configuration.

I am using Alfresco 4.0.d community edition.

Any help in resolving this is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kishor

It looks like this is a known issue with Alfresco 4.0 community edition. Following is the alfresco jira link for this issue:
