Serious problem in Exporting the website(douments not exporting)
Hi Guys,

There is a serious problem going on in our kentico instance.

We are running on kentico cms 5.5R2.

I am exporting a website and it goes perfect but if I look at the event log for it, then it shows that it hasn't exported the documents. I have double checked that the setting for Documents export is ticked.
When I import this website it doesn't show any documents.
Below is the event log for the export:

The site has been exported to file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Kentico\CMSSiteUtils\Export\buckton.zip.
The file is being compressed

RE:Serious problem in Exporting the website(douments not exporting)
Hello.

You surely mean that you enabled "Export documents" setting under Web site -> Documents node, in Step 2 - Objects selection, in export process, am I right? According to log you provided it seems that documents have been exported, since there is following line within your log:

Exporting 'Documents' objects

Maybe the problem is somewhere else, than they are not included within your export package. What exactly do you mean by "website it doesn't show any documents," please? Do you mean they are missing even in document tree in CMSDesk, or they contain no context? Did you do export / import between the same version of Kentico CMS? Thank you in advance for clarification.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik

Hi Radek,

Both the instance of kentico are on 5.5R2 with latest hotfix 2.16.
Yes the Export documents option was ticked.

I am sending you the login for both the kentico instances.
It might be possible that the export is fine but the import is having any problems.

It doesn't show any documents in the Document Tree...

Thanks

RE:Serious problem in Exporting the website(douments not exporting)
Hello.

After deep investigation I believe I found what the problem was. You have documents of page.menuitem document type on your page, but this document was not assigned to your site. You probably unassigned this document type from your site after you created documents based on it. This caused issue during export / import procedure and documents, based on this un-assigned document type was not transferred.

Could you please try it now with last export package I made? It should works. Thank you.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik
