  • 1.  Importing XMLs in SMP from 7.0 to 7.1 sp2

    Posted Jun 18, 2012 01:17 PM

    I am having an issue importing jobs and tasks from a 7.0 SMP server into one running 7.1 sp2. I am not sure if you can even do this. All of the articles I have found talk about migrating, but not simply importing XMLs. Basically I get a specified GUID does not reference an item. The pictures I have attached may explain a bit better. The picture is the XML view of a task for SEP11. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    What is that GUID on your new server, using Item Browser I suspect you will not get a name.  What if you look on your old server?  It is likely you will get a name/description of the GUID/item.  The task is likely associated with or referencing this GUID, which does not exist in the new server.  For example, the software resource does not exist, the command line has not been migrated, or SEPIC was used on the old server but has not been installed, etc.

    This is a security guid from the old server and does not exist in the new server. The security guid is for an account called <domain>\Altiris, both servers are on the same domain and using the same ad account. When I look at the xml for jobs and tasks I am having an issue with under "resourceNS Guid" next to <Security owner> the old server shows the altiris account and the new server says @Application_ID. That was the only major difference I have noticed. The reason this is an issue is because it throws errors and stops replication. I am rather new at this so if there is something more you need to know or additional screen shots please let me know

    My appologies for the delay on getting back to this.

    The old .xml should reference @Application_ID.  I would try exporting it, modifying it to read @Application_ID, and then importing it.  May need to parse the files if there are many in order to replace the GUID with @Application_ID so that import succeeds.
