Hi Marius/Thomas/Denis/All,
I agree that Martin’s use case is valid (we discussed it on IRC a few days ago and Denis
confirmed the need that he’s seen). Here’s the need:
- You have farm 1 on XWiki version N with several users/customers on it each with a
subwiki
- You want to upgrade some of them to a more recent version of XWiki
- You install farm 2 with XWiki version P (where P > N)
- Thus the need is: how to move subwiki S from farm 1 to farm 2
I think we need to recommend some solution for this typical use case and document it
at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade. This page currently
doesn’t mention anything about a farm/subwikis.
Do we have some official recommendation on this (best practice)? Do we know how to support
this use case?
If not, is there something we can do make this use case simpler to achieve?
Thanks
-Vincent

Why : the issue at
this point is there is no folder in the
PermDir/jobs/status/distribution/wiki/ which sounds logical
because we created the descriptor "by hand" throught a XAR import which
doesn't include the process of writing initial status.xml files in
PermDir/jobs/status/distribution/wiki//status.xml
So indeed we're stuck. How do we run the Document Wizard Upgrade at this
point ?
The other issue was the imported wiki skin definition was overriding the
DW URL. Since then we have moved to XWiki 6.4.4 as it is
the version supported
by XWiki SAS. We did the wizard trick and poped up the DW by typing the
URL by hand in the broswer, so it bypass the skin.
I recommend switching temporarily to the default skin before doing an upgrade.
