Hello all,
So far I had been working on my standalone wiki installation and created
some pages, preferences, groups etc.
Now, we want to start using a (x)wiki set up on a server and want to move
all my changes to that.
Is there a short, elegant way to do this? (I know we can import stuff..but I
don't know what can be imported? (or would I just have to copy/repeat all
the changes manually)
Thanks

Thanks Vincent, for that pointer.
I forgot to mention in my earlier mail that I want to move from the
standalone wiki (Jetty and HSQLDB) to the one that uses Tomcat and Oracle
DB. Will, import/export still work or would I have to change/modify
something or use a special script?
Thanks again

it should work just fine provided you have oracle properly configured
(i.e. xwiki pointing to the oracle hbm file).

Cool. That worked Vincent, except for a few Documents with Errors. The
Import report says that few documents were with error and 1 document was
skipped. Is it possible for me to find out why this might have happened?
Some Classes have not been imported and some users have not been imported.
Also ".WebPreferences" did not get imported. In my wiki, this file does not
belong to any space. even in the tree view of the Index, it shows up without
any root (space). Is that how it is supposed to be?
I tried re-importing but gives the same error.
Do, you think re-exporting and re-importing might help!
also, as I understand it, in this case, if we make any changes or add new
template files, we will have to copy and paste them into the Templates
folder of the new wiki. Am I right?
Thanks

Yes you can check the xwiki logs file (xwiki.log). The reason for the
error will be printed in there.
Some Classes have not been imported and some users
have not been
imported.

This file is present in each space you have if you've made
modification to the space preferences through the admin.
I tried re-importing but gives the same error.

No, you need to check the xwiki.log file to see what was wrong.

Yes. You're not supposed to make any change to vm files or any other
file (css, js, jars, etc).
A good strategy re vm files is to use a skin inside the wiki and
override the vm files there although that won't prevent you from
having to merge with our changes if you want to benefit from them.
In general try to avoid making any change to vm files.
Thanks

Hmmm..I checked for the xwiki.log file but, it does not show that it was
modified today. the file was last modified yesterday (local time) but, I did
the import today. also, there is no indication of export in the xwiki.log of
my standalone wiki.
We have log4j.properties file set up with Monitor enabled (for the new
wiki). Does that dump the log messages in some other location?
Thanks
