Publishing, no default workflows

[morphinof]

Hi,

I try to publish content in live section of my web quick start website, but when i try to open a workflow using share i can't choose any defaut workflow : the listbox is empty.

When i try in Alfreco admin section i have following error : "There are no current workflows currently deployed in the repository".

I'm a little stuck, how can i fix that ?

Thanks !

Hmm. Not seen that one before. Please would you provide information about what version of Alfresco you are using?

Something that is worth trying if you have previously used you browser to access an earlier version of Alfresco is to clear the browser cache (especially its javascript cache). I have seen odd behaviour caused by out-of-date javascript.

I'm currently using Alfresco Community 3.4d freshly installed, no previous version used before.

After installation i back-uped mysql and alf_data folders from my Alfresco EE (System was on read only mode), maybe something wrong happened ?

About javascript cache i tried to clear it but no success, btw i assume if Alfreco tells that "There are no current workflows currently deployed in the repository" it's not a js problem.

I try to install Alfresco on another computer to see if there is any differences.

Not sure I understand this step. Do you mean you had an Enterprise database that you tried to import into your 3.4.d system? If so then that certainly won't work.

Previously i was on Alfresco EE 3.4d, after the evaluation time i just make copies of both folders and replace them up into a 3.4d Community version to get back my work.

It works perfectly and i'm now able to continue the web developpement, i wonder if this manipulation altered the system and occurs my workflows problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by Enterprise 3.4d, since that doesn't exist, but my guess is that the process you describe didn't work quite as perfectly as it seemed (it's not a process that would have ever been tested by Alfresco). What I suggest is that you install a clean 3.4.d and then create an ACP from your Enterprise repo. Unfortunately your Enterprise repo has now gone read-only so the normal approach to writing an ACP using the Explorer client won't work - that writes the ACP as a node in the repo. You could use the ExporterService directly to write an ACP directly to the file system, and then import that ACP into your Community repo.

Apparently this manual backup has broken something, i just install a fresh Alfresco on another computer and i can use default workflows.

Strange that all is fully working but worflows  :?

The fact is maybe because get back wcmqs without using the dashlet and instalation process, workflows were not created or something like that.

Btw, what do you mean by ACP  and ExporterService ? My goal was to get back the document library from the EE 

[bremmington]

Alfresco has a service called the ExporterService that allows content from the repo to be exported. The exported content is saved as an Alfresco Content Package (ACP) file which is basically a ZIP file that contains all the metadata and content of the exported nodes. Once you have an ACP file you can then import it into another Alfresco repo.

It would require a little Java code to be written to do it in your case (normally the Explorer client provides an "Export space" feature, but this requires a read-write repo). You would want to export the WQS folder structure from your Enterprise doc lib and import the resulting ACP file into your Community doc lib (you can use the Explorer client to do that).

You can read about the ExporterService on the wiki.

Sounds good, thanks a lot for helping !

Edit : Well done ! Workflows are back, using ACP i just export and import in a fresh wcmqs
