Moving Content - Alfresco not releaseproof ?

[norgan]

or not foolproof ? (and me beeing the fool)

Good day, together,
I have an installation with Labs 2.9 running and tried to upgrade it to Labs 3 (versions B, C, DStable)

So far - my success is - ZERO (well except for exporting and reimporting single spaces)

I did some extensive category-definitions and usergroup management and rights definitions and all those, I want to keept instead of redoing them space after space. So what do I do ?

I tried :
* Full export & bootstrap
* DB dump + alf_data copy.

I found tipps doing
* deleting lucene index
* apply amps prior to starting first time
* checking "db update" in repository-properties file

Could it be, that following extensions HAVE to be identical in order to succeed ?
* amps incl. version of the amp
* ftl files
* ????

Somehow, either Alfresco is not releaseproof - which I doubt somehow - or I am doing something fundamentally wrong. Am I alone with this, or id the others just quietly give up ?

Regards, Norgan
