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.

Is there any immediate solution to this problem? TIA

[erangaj]

I also received the same error. I'm using V2.1

David, Derek,     we need your help!

[davidc]

It's a bug.  A fix has just gone into 2.1 enterprise.

[gilles]

Thanks for your answer, David.
Do you know when it will be fixed in the Community?

Hello,

I'm bumping this as its created a substantial problem for us. We need to upgrade to get various fixes, but our upgrade path is now blocked due to this bug.

I'm fearful that we may have to begin looking elsewhere for a document management solution as our business users have lost nearly all patience with Alfresco.

Alfresco offers many fantastic features, and we would like to continue using it, but need the simple things to work. Like upgrades, commas in filenames, etc..

Thanks for all the work thats been put into Alfresco so far.

It's a bug. A fix has just gone into 2.1 enterprise.

This fix will be brought into the community code over the next few weeks.  The Enterprise 2.1.0 is at the final Beta stage; release may be at the end of this week.

Regards

We have the same error at Full Repository Import with "invalid aspect_root" in export_users.acp.
Are there new experiences?
Release-Date for V2.1E or V2.x CE with that fixes?

[kevinr]

2.1E was finalised yestarday - the download email should be out today.

The fixes are marked for merge into community ASAP.

Thanks,

Kevin

[kevinr]

The fix has gone into community codeline. You can either get code from the public SVN or wait for tonights nightly build.

Thanks,

Kevin
