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 On 24 Apr 2015 at 07:48:33, Marius Dumitru Florea ([email protected](mailto:[email protected])) wrote:

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.
Anyway, there is still some migration/move/upgrade use cases scenarios to elaborate. I'll start this when I got time. But anyone can start over, maybe you, Denis ?
