Error trying to import a full project over another?

Ignition
1

I have two gateways, Dev and Beta, that have have the same project. I just made changes on the Dev gateway designer, and am trying to import everything into the Beta gateway.

I did an export all on the Dev, then tried to import on the Beta, and I am getting this error

Ignition v8.0.6 (b2019111216)
Java: Azul Systems, Inc. 11.0.4

I don’t know whats going wrong. I tried restarting the Beta designer a few times but that didn’t fix it. Tried rexporting and importing too but no avail. Any ideas?

This is probably a bug. Any chance you can try it on 8.0.12?

If not, can you open a ticket with support and provide the project export so they might be able to reproduce?

3

8.0.6 is pretty old…I think we’ve fixed a few issues with partial imports/overrides since then.

4

Is it easy to upgrade from 8.0.6 to 8.0.12? Can I just export the 8.0.6 gateway and import that to 8.0.12?

5

Take a .gwbk from your 8.0.6 system (to revert back to, if necessary) then run the 8.0.12 installer. That’s it.

Update: I updated my Dev and Beta system to 8.0.12. I am still experiencing the error. I narrowed the culprit down to the Project Script Library, one script specifically in my projects, new_Business.HelpDesk. I can’t upload the project files here its too large but if someone can give me an email, I can send them and you hopefully recreate the issue. If that is unchecked, the import works fine.

Something might be in a weird state in 7.9; can you send a .gwbk from 7.9 in to support? They should be able to mock it up and file a ticket to fix it, and hopefully come up with a workaround.

Hi,

I am still facing this issue with same error ResourceNotFoundException in 8.0.15.
I can successfully import parent project. But when I import the child project I will give overwrite all , still I am getting this error. Not sure what causes this. So whenever i do import I rename the existing project and create new project with old project name and import goes successfully. Any solution to overcome this.

Edit:
Then Tried importing the all project resources except Named Quries It works fine, on importing Named Quries seperately i am getting the ResourceNotFoundException once again.

What happened with we mine was I had a script I named “helpdesk” but then renamed to “HelpDesk” and this was what was problematic, the only item that would cause the ResourceNotFoundException, everything else was importable/exportable. I just coped the script out of the script module to a notepad document, deleted the whole HelpDesk module, re-created it, pasted my script back in, and it was fixed. For me it was changing the name, but only by capitalizing a few letters.
