Full repository import (restore) throws dictionary exception

[bpeters]

Hi,

When I try to execute a full repository import using the boorstrap restore I receive an exception (system cannot locate apsect-root in the repository dictionary, see exception below).

I am using Alfresco 2.1.0 and tried to execute the restore with both the war and tomcat distributions. I am using a fresh install (removed alf_data and created a new alfresco database in MySQL).

In previous versions (1.4) I never had problems doing a restore. Is something changed? Am I missing something, or is this a known problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

That is a valid aspect and should be found in WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model/systemModel.xml.

Regards

[bpeters]

Thanks for your reply,

I know it is part of the Repository dictionary, therefore I expected it to be already available.

[kosumi]

i too encountered this exact error, could someone provide a more specific instruction to solve this? TIA

[derek]

Could you confirm that the model is there and that the aspect is defined.

Regards

[bpeters]

I tried again today, but still receive the same exception.

I deleted alf_data
I dropped the alfresco database and created a new one using the db_setup script
The war is in the Tomcat webapps and contains the Dictionary model (it is the regular 2.1 community war edition).
I used the example restore from the extension examples
The files are in restore folder under extension in tomcat shared/classes/alfresco

Alfresco is able to find the import files since the import starts.

there is no custom model or any other kind of customization involved.

[derek]

So, the aspect is in systemModel.xml?  This is not something we've encountered as yet.  What are your system details?

[davidc]

Can you uncomment…

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.DictionaryDAO=info

in log4j.properties.

This will let us know if systemModel is being registered.

Struggling with the same error,
here is an extract of the logs I get (having uncommented 'log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.DictionaryDAO=info'):

(I also import a custom model but the bootstrap is dealing with that later, and I don't thing it the cause of the error.)
Thanks in advance,
