Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my farm from 2.3.2 to 2.4.3.
If I follow the upgrade guide
http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Migration , the 2 steps
are :
1/ upgrade the main wiki (XEM war and XEM xar)
2/ upgrade each sub-wikis
My question is about this last third step.
To do the upgrade, I have downloaded the standard XE xar
(xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.4.3.xar). But there is also a xar attached in the
XemManager.install page (template-xe.xar). These 2 xar are the same. I hope
you confirm this.
When I import this XAR in a sub-wiki, the author of the upgraded pages is
XWiki.Admin (the local admin of the sub-wiki). But this local Admin doesn't
have programming rights. It so happens that a lot of pages (AllDocs,
DeletedDocuments, ...) can't execute. The workaround is to save these pages
as xwiki:XWiki.Admin but it's boring.
Is there something that I've missed ?
Why the template-xe.xar does not have xwiki:XWiki.Admin as author of the
pages ?
Best regards,
Maxime Mathieu
To the best of my knowledge, template-xe.xar is wiki template and it is
included in xwiki-enterprise-manager-wiki-administrator-x.y.xar and has
nothing to do with already created subwikis. It will be used on demand
to create new ones. Sorry, I don't understand, are you trying to import it?
Where you said "this XAR" do you mean xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.4.3.xar or
template-xe.xar? If you import xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.4.3.xar you must
be extremely careful to avoid overwriting customized pages. I find this
the most "dangerous" step in the upgrade process. I don't think you must
try to import template-xe.xar.
HTH!
