[xwiki-users] [1.1] "With history" import option
Hello, I would like to know how the option "with history" in the import tool should be understood ? Does it mean : - history of existing pages will be preserved (new revision added for last revision of imported page) - history of imported pages will be preserved and replace local pages history - history of imported pages will be preserved as well as local pages history (concatenation) I added a line for this in the admin guide, but need to detail the exact way it works (btw I need to be sure of how it works before importing pages in my own wiki ;-) ) http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ImportExport Thanks, Jeremie

No

Yes
- history of imported pages will be preserved as well as local pages history (concatenation) No
At least that's what I understand (haven't checked it). Ludovic, can you confirm?

Ok, Thanks Vincent, the best was to test it ! :-) (and it's what you said) So : - without "with history" option selected : local page history is overwritten, new page version is imported page current version (for example "1.16", but without previous versions) - with "with history" option selected : local page history is overwritten, new page version is "1.1" To facilitate migrations, I think the ideal option would be "add imported page version on top of local page version", just as if importing an existing page would be a modification of this page. This way, it would be possible very easily to: - compare page before and after .xar import - rollback a page to previous state (without having to reimport a previously exported .xar on top of it ...)

So :
- without “with history” option selected : local page history is overwritten, new page version is imported page current version (for example “1.16”, but without previous versions)
- with “with history” option selected : local page history is overwritten, new page version is “1.1”
To facilitate migrations, I think the ideal option would be “add imported page version on top of local page version”, just as if importing an existing page would be a modification of this page.
This way, it would be possible very easily to:
- compare page before and after .xar import
- rollback a page to previous state (without having to reimport a previously exported .xar on top of it …)
What do you think ?
We all definitely agree I think. We just need someone to implement it ;) See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-831 Thanks -Vincent

Would be great if you could update the Import/Export with that information! :) Thanks -Vincent
