Problem in exporting with Alfresco v1.4.0

[lgr]

Hi,

I've tried 3 times to export a full repository from the 1.4.0 version, and neved succeded. I always got the same kind of error below. I work on a linux/gentoo box, and there is enough disk space.

http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1071 seems to look like my problem. I've got 2 questions:
- are you interested in having more debug details on this issue ?
- is there another way to make a full repository export work ?

Just one information, it seems to fail at the end of export (after many hours of processing for a 800Mo repository)

Laurent.

I too get exactly the same problem, using 1.4 Community Release.

Is there a workround for this? 

I'm keen to resolve this as I want to migrate to MySQL and Alfresco 2.0 as soon as possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

As for now, i don't have a workaround. I think it should be possible to export the full repository folder by folder, and manually recreating categories and other such configurations.

I haven't done that yet.

Fortunately, I haven't set up any categories as yet so that is not a concern for me.

What does worry me is how users/groups and permissions will be exported and then imported into the new repository. That would take a long time to set up again by hand.

When I find some time, I'll try it and report back …
