Records Management installation problem

[mayfied]

I am having trouble getting RM properly setup. These are the steps I am taking, with the results being no File Plan option under Advanced Wizard:

2.1 community version, on Windows XP. Basic Alfresco functionality is working fine.

1. Download the module into C:\alfresco\amps.
2. Extract to c:\alfresco\amps
3. Run c:\alfresco\appy_amps.bat
4. Delete the c:\alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco  (folder)

After these steps, I don't have a workind RM module. I have read the AMP section on Wiki, but quite frankly, I don't get the use of the MMT. Is the apply_amps the only "build" utility I need to use? Thanks for your help!

There are a couple of issues with the Records Management module in the 3.x branch. See this JIRA ticket for more info and workarounds: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-1422

There is another issue with the module management tool (MMT) used to install the RM module. The apply_amps script should install the module just fine if it is placed in the 'amps' folder, but there is an issue that causes a confusing error message to be displayed if the module is already installed. I have created another JIRA issus to track this: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-1559

If you already have installed the records management module on your 3.0 system then you need to do the following to get this working:

1. Upload the move-records-space.js script from ETHREEOH-1422 into Data Dictionary > Scripts and use the Run action dialogue to execute its contents. You should now see the 'Records Space' folder in Company Home.

2. Locate the record_template.ftl template in Data Dictionary > Presentation Templates and use the 'Update' action to replace it with the version on ETHREEOH-1422. Note: do not delete it and re-create it, this will break your records.

Cheers,
Will.

Hi,
How can we run this js script?
By Run Action Wizard? What action?

Thanks advaced!

[wabson]

@togum: You need to select the "Execute a script" action from the list of actions in the Run Action dialogue. Make sure you have first uploaded the JS file from ETHREEOH-1422, obviously.

If you still have problems, I'd suggest you take a look at the online help documentation, which should walk you through the process.

I'm sorry friend,

How can i get move-records.js from ETHREEOH-1422?

Thanks,

@togum: ETHREEOH-1422 is the ID of a bug that I previously filed in JIRA on this issue. JIRA is the issue-tracking system we use at Alfresco and can be found at http://issues.alfresco.com/.

The URL link for ETHREEOH-1422 is in my previous post, but to save you from having to scroll up here it is again: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-1422

One of the features of most issue tracking systems is the ability to attach files to an issue. You should see the relevant JS file attached to the bug in JIRA and download it using your web browser. Then, upload it into the Data Dictionary > Scripts space in the Alfresco Explorer user interface and you should find you can execute it using the Run action dialogue, as described.

Uploading files and executing actions in Alfresco Explorer are really beyond the scope of this forum post so if you have problems doing this then here is the end-user help link:

Thanks,

I've exceuted the move_record.js but nothin happen in my company space.
How can i see the record space in alfresco?

[wabson]

it would be helpful if you could mention which version of Alfresco and the Records Management AMP you are using. There is a new RM implementation in version 3.2 of Alfresco which uses Alfresco Share as the main interface rather than Explorer. Perhaps that is the one you are using?

I just downloaded the latest version 3.4c, and the record management option is not displaying in the alfresco explorer. i followed the steps outlined in jira, but still no RM! ops:

please advise

The latest DoD 5015.2 module is *only* implemented using the Share interface, not Explorer.

Thanks,
Mike
