Hi,

I've been trying to export using Site Manager from local testing server to a
remote testing server. When i select all my parts to include and hit Export
the Site Manager and NR hangs then crashes.

Went through the CMS FAQ and tried to implement solution 1:

 ****************************************
********

Topic: Export to Object Package filename.sdo failed

I see this Error when I export using Site Deployment: "Export to Object
Package <filename>.sdo failed"

Answer

There are multiple reasons for this problem:

1. If SQL server and MCMS server are installed on the same box, then ensure
that the "shared memory protocol" is disabled in the "SQL client network
utility".

2. The amount of data or the time required for the export exceeds the
limitations set in the ..cmsroot$\server\mcms\web.config:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="3600"
maxRequestLength="1024000"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="100"/>

(the settings here are for a one hour timeout and 1 GB data)

 ****************************************
********

However this left me unable to connect to the sql server using Site Manager
or Visual Studio even though the cms and sql are on my same local machine.
Part 2 suggests editing the web.config file, however when i open the
web.config file in C:\ program files\microsoft content management server\ et
c
etc this snippet does not exist. Is it meant to be added? if so where?

Thanks for the help, not sure why part 1 didn't work though?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

what do you mean with "crash"?
You mean a process termination of SiteManager?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

i mean it got to 5% initialising then sat there until both NRprocess and
Site Manager became "not responding" and i had to end process. Tried this
several times, even leaving it for an hour and the same thing happened. any
help would be good.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Stefan,

Unfortunately that seems to be the problem and i believe the error is the
one i received however i've only managed to get the error to appear once, it
normally stops responding before this. The only thing that concerns me is th
e
fact that my site should be nowhere near 300mb.

Will contact MS for the hotfix and see what happens. Will post the results.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Stefan (again),

Could the solution also be the SiteManager refresh problem as fixed by this
download:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

I'm running CMS 2002 sp1a but i can't find if the SiteManagerRefresh fix is
included in this service pack.

Thanks,

Michael

p.s. any clue as to when sp2 inc .net 2.0 will be out for CMS?

Hi Michael,

this is a version of SiteManager without JavaVM compatible with MCMS 2002.
This release was required due to the fact that Microsoft was no longer
allowed to ship JavaVM with OS.
That is completly unrelated to your problem.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Been on to Microsoft and got the Hotfix. Doesn't seem to have solved the
problem though, therefore i think its something totally different. I've trie
d
varying what i export, down to only a single empty channel and still it gets
to 5% initialising and then nothing until the NRprocess stops responding. I
think the problem may lie in the sql connection, as the first fix you
suggested (turning off shared memory) stops everything CMS related from
working?

Any further ideas?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

the shared memory thing is no longer relevant.
There was a bug in the implementation of the communication in MCMS which
required this which is fixed with SP1 and SP1a.

I would suggest to open a support case to get your problem analyzed in more
details.

Cheers,
Stefan

Check for URL or http transfer size restrictions, eg from URLscan or IIS6. I
have seen these cause problems with exports etc.

Hope this helps
