Hi There,

I’m using Pydio Cells Home Edition 4.2.2 on Debian 11

I try to import datas from another server running pydio 8

The official export plugin has been installed on pydio 8 server side, cache cleared.

Datas have been copied with scp from pydio8 to Pydio Cells server.

On both servers, users “Importer” with admin rights are presents.

Validation tab seems correct

But, when I launch import, I got this error

Logs not helping ☹

If anybody has an idea, please help.  
Regards

Hi @Hubert - this is not smelling good.  
I guess this tool has not been tested recently in the home edition.

Will come back to you

Yep - there is clearly a missing import

Fix is commited, will be in the next release (4.2.3)  
You can already test with this build [https://download.pydio.com/pub/cells/dev/linux-amd64/cells](https://download.pydio.com/pub/cells/dev/linux-amd64/cells) if you don’t want to wait for the release 😉

Have a nice weekend, thanks for reporting !

Hello @Hubert,

It’s hard to understand this error. Please make sure action.migration plugins is activated in pydio 8 php.

In general, it’s recommended to do the migration in steps. That’s mean you select only one option at step 4: “Chose features to import”.  
You can start with: Users, Group and Roles  
Then repeat with others:  
=\> Workspace \> Workspace ACLs  
=\> Workspace \> File Metadata  
=\> Workspace \>Shares

If you practice many times the migration, it’s recommended to clean (reinstall) pydio Cells then do the migration again.
