I have successfully created an export package from a Tridion installation using Content Porter 2009 SP2 (v3.2.0.349).

Taking this exported package and attempting to import it into a clean installation (exactly the same version), fails with the below error message:

The package is at level 020, and depends on 010 and 000, both of which have successfully exported from the source installation and imported into the destination installation.

I'm not aware of anything funky with the 020 level, but was not involved in the creation of the system. Has anyone else had this error before, or have any suggestions on how to resolve it?

P.S. Terrible about the misspelling of 'committed' in the second to last line of the log.

END OF LINE

    Have you tried importing first the stuff into 000, then into 010 and finally into 020 (so as separate imports) ?

  • That's the only way I've tried it Raimond. Exported 000 from source, imported 000 into target = success. Next export 010 from source, import 010 into same target = success. Finally export 020 from source (success, no warnings/errors), import into target = fail with above details.

The simplest thing to try is doing a non-transactional import. The message seems to be indicating that the problem is to do with the transaction.

If you really need to do transactional imports (we managed for years without them), then I'd suggest making smaller imports until you get down to a scope that succeeds.

In any case, trying to identify the problematic object is important. You may well find that it's an item that won't save properly via the GUI or API, and that fixing a problem with the item allows the import to succeed.

As for the spelling capabilities of the development team, I'd suggest that this might be the wrong criterion on which to judge them. :-)

  • That's some great advice there Dominic, thanks. I'll give it a try and report back if I make any progress.

    I can confirm that doing a non-transactional import does indeed allow me to work-around the problem. I'd like to understand the cause of the problem though, so if I can find time I'll take your second point and try granular imports to try and locate the problem object. Watch this space. If you're interested in knowing the outcome.

  • Once the non-transactional import has succeeded once, it seems that reimporting the same publication as a transactional import then also succeeds. If I delete the DB and try again, then setting the 'Synchronise content against schema' to true also resolves the problem. I didn't manage to identify the exact object that was causing the problem, but I'm out of time on this one and have to move onto other tasks. Thanks for the guidance though Dominic!

  • Glad to hear you managed to make some more progress. Sounds like some of your components don't match the schema.
