Export fails

[michaelgk]

I am trying to do a full export of my Alfresco system (to migrate from HSQL to MySQL). The export command fails with the following message:

Please correct the export errors below then click OK.

    * Failed to execute export: org.alfresco.service.namespace.NamespaceException: A namespace prefix is not registered for uri http://www.alfresco.org/model/record/1.0

What does this mean and how do I fix it ?

Thanks for any help
Michael

This seems to be related to the "Data Dictionary". I get the same error if I attempt to just export that space. I do not get the error on any other space…except the complete repository of course.

Hi,

We have some good steps for migrating from HSQL to MySQL in our wiki:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Migrating_from_HSQL

Hope this helps,

I had read the wiki page on migration. This solution will not work on Linux. The MYSQL migration tools are not available for Linux.

Then currently your best solution is to take one of the latest nightly builds, and upgrade your server to that. The latest builds contain the fixes for Full Export/Import so you can use that instead.

Thanks,

Kevin
