Large Imports
Very large imports can fail if they exceed limits on the server. If this happens, PhixFlow reports an Upload too large error. Consider splitting the items into several export zip files.
Missing Items
An import will fail if there is a reference to an item that does not exist:
either in the import file
or in the target system.
When you export items from one PhixFlow instance, it is important to ensure all items are present in the zip. For example, if items refer to other items in a package, ensure the package is included in the export.
If an import fails due to missing items, the console will log the following error messages:
...
In the console, find the Error 618 message.
Copy the references for the missing items to a text file.
Go back to the PhixFlow instance where the import file was generated.
Go to
→ Other → Show in Repository,Insert excerpt _administration _administration nopanel true Paste one missing item reference into the field.
PhixFlow opens the repository with the missing item highlighted.
Repeat this process to find all the missing items. Re-export all items you require; see Export Configuration. If you have may items, consider adding them to a Package.
Ignoring References
In very rare circumstances, there may be a problem with references between types of item. In this case, you can configure PhixFlow to ignore missing items.
For example, you can set PhixFlow to ignore (null) any references to missing users during an import.
| Warning |
|---|
Before deciding to ignore references, please discuss with PhixFlow support if there is another way to resolve your issue. |
To ignore references:
In the console, find the Error 612 message from the failed import process.
Copy the
<from object>.<to object>string from the message.Click the
icon, in the top right of the PhixFlow header bar.Insert excerpt _administration _administration nopanel true Open System → Configuration.
Navigate to the Advanced section.
In the Allow Missing on Import box, specify a comma-separated list of missing items or fields listed in the import failure error message. For example:
Next time you run the import, PhixFlow overrides the error messages and completes the import process.
