Upgrade lost Project spaces

[bpsommerville]

Hi,

We have been running Alfresco 2.9b and using the Project Collaboration spaces that were present in that version.
I have just tried upgrading to 3.0b labs and can no longer browse to any content we had in the projects.  The Projects folder is still visible under Company Home, but it is empty.

The project content is still there, if I search for files I can find them.  I can also go directly to the file nodes in the admin node browser.  Navigating up and down the hierarchy via the node browser it seems that the problem is with the project node(s) that used to show up under the Projects folder.  When I try to navigate to them using the node browser I get a permission denied exception (included below).  I am logged in as admin during this process.

So it seems that the problem is with the permissions of the project nodes.  Is there any way to correct this?

thanks
Ben Sommerville

I managed to solve this.
For anyone else who runs across this problem, the exception is a bit deceptive.  It is not actually a security issue. 

3.0b does not include the "projectfolder" type in its applicationModel.  If you copy the applicationModel.xml (located in tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model) from the 2.9 alfresco into the 3.0 version then restart it all works.

Hi Ben,

I have the same problem. I copied the applicationModel.xml file, but the Projects folder still do not appear.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi Gilles,
could it be, that you need to drop the databases and restart from scratch ?

Could you mail me the applicationmodell.xml to norgan doth han  at  gmx doth net
