Thanks, Actually upgrading from 4.4 to 5.4 Will be too long, isnt it?

Why would it be long?

In addition i have a listener on document création to add an xobject to all documents. If i just upgrade version all old documents Will not have this object and so approve révision Will not be applicable to those old document,

So please can you explain why export import is painful ? Its not safe to export from a version and import to another version of Xwiki ?

You’ll loose some information unnecessarily, please read: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Backup#HUsingtheXWikiExp... Thanks -Vincent

Why do you feel the need to export and reimport the whole wiki ? The standard way of upgrading XWiki and to let it migrate the database so unless you plan to move to an entirely different database (like moving from hsqldb to MySQL) there is no need for this painful export/import process.

Relying on the import to add approved revisions is... not optimal. If you want to do this once, then you have two better options:

- add a migrator that will run once when upgrading - just write a script that goes through all the documents and adds that object, then run it once

Thanks Sergui. Why would it be long? in upgrade docs <http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade>, you said : Some additional operations may be required for upgrading and *you must check the release notes <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/WebHome> for all the versions* from the version you're upgrading from up to the new version you're installing. Maybe i should take the time to upgrade... do you think it's better than taking a fresh version and import all content (it's importing the Main space, that's it) ?? 2014-05-30 2:45 GMT+01:00 Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]>:

The export/import does not bring you anything. You still export/import old pages and you will have to upgrade them, the difference is that when you do the right way (let XWiki migrate the database) you get a wizard which takes care of doing 3ways merge for you and indicate you where you have conflicts.
