Export 7.1.1 space in xWiki 9.11

Hi,

We have an old xWiki Enterprise release 7.1.1 (linked to Oracle) where several Spaces are defined. We now need to transfer the data of 1 of these spaces into a new xWiki 9.11 (hsqldb) release.

Does anyone know whats the best way to proceed here please ?

Kind regards

Just to be sure: you are not mixing “spaces” and “wikis”, right ? You just want to move some pages (all located in the same space) from one wiki to another ?

If that’s the case the best is usually to export that space in XAR format and then import it on the other side. It’s a bit easier now (but a “Space” is now called a “Page” with children) but in 7.1.1 you could use the space export helper provided in http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Admin+Tools+Application. Then you can import this XAR file with the standard XAR import UI. See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/ImportExport for more details.

That is correct, in the 7.1.1 xwiki enterprise we have a dozen Spaces defined. 1 such space (all pages of that space) need to go to the new xwiki 9.11

I allready tried the procedure you propossed, however on the 9.11 xwiki when i select the XAR file with the exported Space i get an error message ‘an error occured…’ which goes away after a few seconds. Do you maybe have any idea in which log file i could find the reason for this ?

(btw : many thanks for the quick reply :-))

Found the issue of the upload error, max file upload limit :slight_smile: Proceeding now
