import of public users does not work

Hi All,

 

I had to delete my mysql database because of some corruption. I exported the public users before that and tried to import them in the new database. Unfortunately I did not succeed.

 

The exported xml (users.public.xml) does contain the folders and user data as existed in my database.

I tried several of the options in the Tools / Import function, but the users do not show up under Security / Public Users. When I check the database table “users_node” I can see that there are a lot of nodes there. The node_id’s are the same as the uuid’s of the users I have in my xml file. So something WAS imported, but I can’t see the public users in AdminCentral, nor can I log in as one of the public users.

 

 Is there an error in the Import or do I make some mistake?

 

I tried:

Repository: always “users”.

Base path: “/” or “/public” or “” or “public”… none of them worked

Keep versions: did not check that box

UUIDs: tried all 3 options with all options of the Base path.

 

I’m a bit stuck now. Can someone help?

 

Best regards, Bert

in theory ... would need to see your export file tho ... and i don't
think you should be sending it over to just anybody as it contains
passwords of your users.
The idea is that the node structure is not of the same type as expected
which is why the users are not visible. But as I said to find out, one
would have to export your users workspace again and compare it to the
previously exported file as well as to export file from some other
healthy instance.

BTW, are you sure that the old and new instance have exactly same
version of all the libraries?

And you might also try re-indexing the users workspace.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your answers. The corruption was in some dialog node, but of course you can never know.
I did restart the server and deleted the indexes. Both instances had exactly the same libraries.

I exported the users workspace, and compared that to an export of a healty workspace. I think I found the source of my problem. Take a look at the attached picture. Besides the system and admin node there are 5 nodes named public. Sure all of them the result of my attempts to upload the public users. Some of the public nodes are empty, like the one in the blue box. The one in the red box is the one I want. Clearly I added the nodes giving them another UUID, instead of overwriting them. My mistake.

Do you have a tip how to get rid of the unwanted nodes?

Regards, Bert

Many different options, for example:
- make the users workspace visible in jcr broswer (brace yourself, it
will look weird w/ some nodes seemingly duplicated) and delete the
copies of "public" you don't want
- delete those nodes directly using BSH shell and shell module
- write a custom class to delete those extra nodes
- export whole users workspace, fix the export file, put it in the
bootstrap folder, shutdown, delete users workspace, startup and hope for
the best

... your pick ;)

cheers,
Jan

Thanks Jan,

I added some lines to the start() method of a ModuleLifecycle class like this:

                        Content contentByUUID = ContentUtil.getContentByUUID(ContentRepository.USERS, "a7e7df3b-2547-47dd-942b-c57afdf02976");
                        Content parent = contentByUUID.getParent();
                        contentByUUID.delete();
                        parent.save();

And that worked beautifully. I let this here to run once of course.

Have a good weekend, Bert

 From an earlier experience with broken nodes causing admincentral to  
be unavailable we have included something we call EvilDeleteCommand in  
one of our magnolia-setups. It's a JMX-Mbean with one call that it  
deletes a single node based on the parameters "repository" and "path".  
You can see how we came up with the name ;)
