deepImport failed with error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: folder

[Reddy]

Hello CDA experts,

I am trying to move CDA application from V21 to V24 using ImportExportCLI. I have one test application in V21 and exported with deepExport command it was successful and generated the deepExport.zip file which contains all the details.

V21 - Source CDA

But deepImport fails with error 

"Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: folder"

I have exported the folder structure from source system and imported to target system using AWI (Export/Import) but no luck.

V24 - target CDA:

Can someone guide me how to fix this error?  or is there any other way to move applications(single or all applications) from one CDA to other CDA servers?

Thanks,

Venugopal Reddy

Hi @reddyh

If I read your screenshot from the command correctly you specify the parameter format which is not needed.

See example for DeepImport in the docu: https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ARA/24.4/DOCU/24.4/CDA%20Guides/Content/CDA/CLI/ie-deepImport-ref-cli.htm 

The syntax for the export is described here: https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ARA/24.4/DOCU/24.4/CDA%20Guides/Content/CDA/CLI/ie-deepExport-ref-cli.htm

As an alternative you can also use Application Packs - see https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ARA/24.4/DOCU/24.4/CDA%20Guides/Content/CDA/wwApplications/application_Wkg.htm#link10

Application Packs (or Shared Component Packs) can be imported to a new system by the same tools importing/installing Action Packs. On the command line Automic Package Manager (apm) can be used. When using AWI at the Administration perspective at the sub-section Packs any of these Packs (Application, Shared Component, Action) can be imported/installed by clicking on the proper menu items.
see https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ARA/24.4/DOCU/24.4/CDA%20Guides/Content/PluginManager/PM_WorkingWith.htm 

Hope this helps
