Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your response. Looks like the documentation here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports is wrong and needs to be updated.

Actually the documentation is correct which is why I haven’t changed it yesterday :) As I mentioned in my first reply I discovered http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12607 which I have fixed.

The following URL worked and it successfully downloaded XAR which includes histories:

https://SERVER/bin/export/Main/testpage?format=xar&name=Main.testpage&pages=...

Based on the documentation I expected https://SERVER/xwiki/bin/export/Space/Page?format=xar&pages=Main.testpage&hi... to work but it does not work.

The correct URL can be generated by right clicking on the “Export as XAR” button on the UI. Then query string parameter “history=true” needs to be added to export the history (otherwise it just exports the last version).

Ok so the good news is that XWIKI-12607 fixes your problem. I’m still surprised that you were getting an error since I couldn’t reproduce this. But if it works now then it’s good! Thanks -Vincent

Thanks,

Amrita

Hi Amrita,

I’ve tried to reproduce your problem but couldn’t. I’ve found another problem though which I’ve fixed: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12607 (http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12607)>

(http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12607)>

What version of XWiki are you using?

Have you checked the XWiki logs to see if anything is printed there?

Thanks

-Vincent

Hi,

I am trying to export page with its histories as XAR. I referred to this document: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports and used the following URL:

https://SERVER/xwiki/bin/export/Space/Page?format=xar&pages=Main.testpage&hi... , where SERVER is my server name and testpage is the page with history that I am tryin to export as XAR.

This command did not work. I am seeing message "A problem occurred while trying to process your request. Please contact the webmaster if this happens again." on the page and status 304 (Not Modified) on the browser.

Can someone please let me know how I can export a page with histories as XAR which includes all its history information?

Thanks, Amrita
