Using package export to move content from 3.5.1 fails

Torgeir Fritsvold	Thursday 08 March 2007 4:18:51 am I'm trying to move a set of content objects from an old 3.5.1 installation to a new installation on 3.6.11, and have a couple of questions: 1) Is this a good way to move content between sites and eZ versions? I'm trying to move just the content and not the class definitions in case these have changed between versions. 2) Does the package export work for a (fairly) large number of content objects in 3.5.11? I'm able to move a few objects, but the package creation fails when I try to export the whole subtree.
Heath	Thursday 08 March 2007 4:33:04 am Content object export is a time consuming task which often exceeds the default configured request timeout, http://google.com/search?q=http+request+timeout I would recommend turning to the eZ Publish command line tools instead which are not affected by http request timeout dependencies. You can review, ezpm.php, http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/ezpm.php http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/ez_publish_3_4/content_object_export_with_ezpm Though I will warn you, I believe there are outstanding issues with certain uses of this component. I might instead offer an alternative, use the csvextract extension to extract your content and use the features of 3.9 to import your csv! hth, Brookins Consulting \| http://brookinsconsulting.com/ Certified \| http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/380350 Solutions \| http://projects.ez.no/users/community/brookins_consulting eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org
Heath	Thursday 08 March 2007 4:57:59 am I do see some improvements in the command line package tools in 3.9.1! http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/stable/3.9/doc/changelogs/3.9/CHANGELOG-3.9.0-to-3.9.1 * Package system: - Command line package tool 'ezpm.php' updated: o 'list', 'import', 'install' command have been changed to match admin interface functionality. o Implemented suggestion #010001: 'ezinstallscript' and 'ezextension' items are supported by 'add' command. o Implemented suggestion : Allow ezpm to set vendor.
