Re: [xwiki-users] Converting XEM to XE (with specific subwiki)

Hi, Jan, If you have relatively small amount of data - standard export-import is the best solution, IMHO. If DB is huge - try one of the extensions for this http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ExtensionCode/ExtensionSearch?sp… As far as I understand XWiki, direct DB manipulations may bring inconsistency and data loss, so better use standard means to keep data safe. hibernate.cfg.xml is not the only place to change DB name: there are xwiki.cfg parameters also. But be sure, that some application may stop working in this case. E.g. as far as I definitly know: problems were found with DB prefix XWIKI-8672 and some Admin Tools. So, better use standard name for the DB, or check everything and tell us if any problem found :-) Probably, renaming sub-wiki DB to 'xwiki' will help. But I'm not sure. Never tried this. I just wonder: WHY XEM -> XE migration is necessary? From user point of view, subwiki is completely independent wiki and (almost) has no differences form XE. Moreover, XEM is much more flexible in building infrastracture, even with a small amount of data. As the example: it was one wiki with all customers, projects and internal information inside divided by spaces. It was quite difficult to manage this, especially access rights for some business processes logic. Everything was moved to XEM. Now there are 30+ subwikis (two of them are public wikis), 100+ users on board and no problems for further growth :-) As for me, I'm nearly always prefer XEM. It is especially useful for all kind of experiments :-) Пятница, 18 января 2013, 11:06 -08:00 от Jan-Philip Loos <maxdaten(a)gmail.com>om>: Kind regards, Dmitry
