Records Management installation problem

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!

I think I have updated the WAR properly, but still don't see the File Plan under Advanced Wizard. I edited the apply_amps.bat file and hardcoded the directory paths and ran the command from the Java folder. That seemed to work based on the -verbose information.

I deleted the ALF_HOME\WEBAPPS\ALFRESCO folder… restarted Alfresco and saw:

which seems to say that the RM module is loaded ok.  Yet still no File Plans… any ideas? Thanks!

On further inspection… there is now a Records Space created populated by DOD doc's and other spaces… so that is good. But no File Plan option with I go to create a new Space from the Wizard.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Any chance someone can offer any ideas? I am at a loss. I have tried several fresh installs, but am certainly just repeating the problem.

I really can't spend much more time with this. The RM module is important, and I am trying to give my office an open source option to the Lazerfiche folks blowing costly smoke up their, er, well, you know…

Help? Thanks!

Ok… at the risk of public embarasment. I was reading the 1.4 ver instructions for accessing the File Plans, not the 2.0. Everything is actualy working properly!

Well, one good thing from this: I have really plowed through the configuration files and learned a good deal about the system in an effort to solve a non-problem. I only post this incase some other poor smuck has made the same mistake.

Same problem with records management on Alfresco Labs 3.0.  Using a CentOS5 system with Alfresco compiled from SVN.  Records management module (version 1.3) also built from svn.  The logs say that the records management module is loaded, but the records space is not created and neither are the templates.  This is making it hard to evaluate the product.  Any ideas?

Looks like a regression may have been introduced around the RM module for Labs 3.0. For evaluations specifically of Records Management, I'd recommend using a v2.1 install for now.

Thanks,
Mike

in Alfresco 3.0 Labs final the problem persists 😞

Looks like the alfresco-mmt.jar does not "recognize" the install command.
>sudo java -jar bin/alfresco-mmt.jar install ./amps /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war -directory
