DEVELOPERS FORUM - Export &Import of an Itemtype missing some attributes to add.

Vardhan - Thursday, November 14, 2013 12:43 AM:

Hi,

I have created an Itemtype on my test DB, now I am trying to Export that and Import into main DB. Export finished without any errors. I faced the following error while importing but almost at the last.    I

I continued by clicking ok.

In the main DB the ItemType which I imported is missing values under TOC Access, canAdd. So, users are unable to see it under TOC and add new item. In the test DB the ItemType is having Identity values for the both TOC Access & canAdd  as 'All Employees'.

I didn't add the 'All Employees' permission to the export. And the TOC Access is having a new category name which does't exist in the Main DB. I tried importing 'categories' List but it said ' Item with Id already exists'.

I have to Export and Import many Itemtypes. It will become difficult to add the missing things of every ItemTypes if any.

Please help with the correct way of Exporting Importing. 

By checking  the complete functionality of the ItemType I found that Imported one is not working as it should. Workflow is added and not set to default by the import, I set it to default manually but still it is not  going through the workflow simply allowing the users to promote one LS state to another.

Thanks you-Vardh.

Has anyone faced this issue earlier? The highlighted thing in the above post is happening for all Itemtypes. Import is not setting the added Workflow as default though it has set to default on the DB from where the export happened.

Even the forms, I have changed the view of forms and added customization to the fields. But after import I'm seeing the basic form of the ItemType. All the fields come down one by one. All the custom conditions are gone.

Kindly help me to solve this.

Hi Vardh,

  I think this is the issue of permission for all Item types that you exported.

 Please export all export all required permissions if not exported.

 Please check permissions and permission relationship under each item type in exported xml.

 Also Even though this error popup data is imported successfully.

Thanks,

Amit
