Kentico Import Error

Jaspal Marok asked on July 28, 2018 00:08

I am receiving the error below during a large export(3.3gb), for multiple page types, I can be wrong but issue seems to be space after the 'Company '. How can I remove that space from the export or should I do another export?

``` ERROR: Error importing 'Page types' objects (Company - Landing Page Banner (New)) Message: [TransformationInfoProvider.SetTransformationInfoInternal]: Transformation name 'Company ' does not meet restrictions for code name format.

Exception type: CMS.Base.GeneralCMSException Stack Trace: at CMS.PortalEngine.TransformationInfoProvider.SetTransformationInfoInternal(TransformationInfo transformation) at CMS.PortalEngine.TransformationInfo.SetObject() at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.SetObject(SiteImportSettings settings, GeneralizedInfo infoObj, GeneralizedInfo parentInfo, List1 importedObjects) at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.ProcessMainObject(SiteImportSettings settings, GeneralizedInfo infoObj, GeneralizedInfo parentObject, TranslationHelper th, ImportParameters parameters) at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.UpdateObject(SiteImportSettings settings, GeneralizedInfo infoObj, Boolean siteObject, DataSet data, TranslationHelper th, Boolean updateChildren, ProcessObjectEnum process, List1 importedParentIds, List1 postProcessList, List1 importedObjects, GeneralizedInfo parentObject, Boolean postProcessing) at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.ProcessChildren(SiteImportSettings settings, GeneralizedInfo infoObj, TranslationHelper th, ImportParameters parameters) at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.ProcessObjectData(SiteImportSettings settings, GeneralizedInfo infoObj, GeneralizedInfo parentObject, TranslationHelper th, ImportParameters parameters) at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.UpdateObject(SiteImportSettings settings, GeneralizedInfo infoObj, Boolean siteObject, DataSet data, TranslationHelper th, Boolean updateChildren, ProcessObjectEnum process, List1 importedParentIds, List1 postProcessList, List1 importedObjects, GeneralizedInfo parentObject, Boolean postProcessing) at CMS.CMSImportExport.ImportProvider.ImportObjects(SiteImportSettings settings, DataSet data, String objectType, Boolean siteObject, TranslationHelper th, Boolean importChild, ProcessObjectEnum processType, List1 importedParentIds) ```

Looks like your transformation name has a space after it.

Transformation name 'Company ' does not meet restrictions for code name format.

See the space between the "y" and the '?

@Brenden I also think that "y " is the issue behind this error, but this transformation is a part of a large import that I am trying to setup on a local environment and there are multiple files raising the same error. I am still not sure how can I solve this problem.

You have a few options:

Modify the code names of the objects with the problems in the exported XML files
Modify the code names of the objects with the problems in the existing instance of Kentico and re-export the site

Kentico won't allow you to import invalid data. I'm not 100% sure how it let you add those code names to begin with but it surely won't allow you to import them as it validates it all upon import.
