Re: [xwiki-users] Annotations-comments merge validation

Eduard, Even with such a detailed explanation I still have questions :) (hopefully final ones) I have ran the script and half of my annotations are in the old group. I have tried opening corresponding pages but those annotations won't show up. Annotations from new group were created after the upgrade to 4.1.3. I will not be able to check if I used custom annotation before upgrade - because I have no possibility to restore previous version of the system. I don't remember myself modifying annotation to be something custom (maybe when annotations were an early extension), yet that was the error I received upon upgrade. About custom mapping - I don't know what that is at all. If we assume that I don't care about the old annotations, will simply upgrading to 4.1.4 with xwiki.store.migration.force=R40001XWIKI7540 solve the issue? How do I junk old annotations in such case? (I have tried force migration flag with 4.1.3 and the result was all annotations moved to "new" group, but still nothing was displayed on corresponding pages except for annotations created after initial upgrade to 4.1.3) Roman -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Eduard Moraru Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2012 13:48 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Annotations-comments merge validation Hi Roman, The 4.1.3 release had a couple of problems [1], including one that unintentionally skipped the annotations migration. The 4.1.4 release fixed this problem [2], amongst others, and it would be what I recommend you to use instead of 4.1.3. I`m not sure if your case fits into the problems specific to 4.1.3 (though it probably does), but to test if you have annotations that respect the new format, you could run this piece of velocity code: {{velocity}} New annotations: $services.query.hql(", BaseObject comment, BaseProperty selection WHERE comment.name=doc.fullName AND comment.className='XWiki.XWikiComments' AND selection.id.id=comment.id AND selection.name='selection'").execute() Old annotations: $services.query.hql(", BaseObject annotation WHERE annotation.name=doc.fullName AND annotation.className='AnnotationCode.AnnotationClass'").execute() {{/velocity}} It will list the documents that contain annotations in the new format and documents that contain annotations in the old format (not migrated). Basically the new format is XWiki.XWikiComments class instead of the old AnnotationCode.AnnotationClass, with the addition that the XWikiComments objects also have the "selection" property set to whatever was selected when the annotation was made. If it turns out that you have old annotations, then you need to check 2 things: 1) That you were not using a custom annotations class before the upgrade, that is a class that is different from AnnotationsCode.AnnotationsClass 2) That you are not using a custom mapping for the comments If you are in one of the 2 cases above, then you will not be able to migrate to merged annotations and comments (ad keep using annotations as before) because the migration does not support the 2 cases. See the Jira issue [3] on this matter for more details. If you are not in one of the 2 cases above, then you need to upgrade to 4.1.4 (or above) and to also force the annotations migration to run again. To force the migration, once you have upgraded normally to 4.1.4, you have to: 1) set your annotations class to AnnotationCode.AnnotationClass (By going into Administration > Applications > Annotations > XWiki class defining annotations structure) 2) edit xwiki.cfg and specify that you want to force the annotations migration to be executed by adding the following line: xwiki.store.migration.force=R40001XWIKI7540 2.1) also make sure that the migrations process itself is enabled (xwiki.store.migration=1) and that it is enabled for all your wikis if you are in a miltiwiki environment (xwiki.store.migration.databases=all) 3) restart your wiki and watch the logs as the migration should report that it is being executed 4) check the results by running the velocity script from the first part of my mail. 5) set your annotations class to XWiki.XWikiComments since this is what you will be using from now on 5.1) you should also hide the annotations tab, if you did not already do so, by going to "Administration > Look & Feel > Page Elemetns > Show document annotations" and selecting "No". 6) edit xwiki.cfg and remove or comment the forced migration line to avoid problems.
