You can do the following:
1. build new magnolia
2. put a copy of the repository into the webapp
3. then define the magnolia property magnolia.bootstrap.force=config
(in magnolia.properties)
4. startup (config get bootstrapped)
5. shutdown
6. reset the magnolia.bootstrap.force

Hello Magnolia developers!!!
I am faced with a bit of a problem while trying to keep our
Magnolia installation updated.
The problem is that we have a large amount of DMS and website
content which I have to import every time I do a fresh install of
Magnolia (from 3.0 snapshot).
For us, the fresh install is the only way to validate if certain
bug fix works and that all bootstrap files get applied
Here is a description of what I am facing:
- there are 3 websites which we back up daily that produce 3 XML
export files. These files are about 60MB each totaling about 10000
pages of content.
- there are also 3 DMS top level folders containing various
documents for each of the sites with sizes ranging from 10mb to
2GB !!! Lots of documents...
After building author and public instance, I have to:
- import these files into author
- activate them
- approve and publish to public instance
Total time it takes to do this is about 7 hours which is not very
friendly.
To speed things up I tried to turn off the versioning command but
that didn't help much....
I could obviously, do import on both author and public but then I
don't get the "green light" on author......
There are also other difficulties associated with the process...
*There is no indication on the progress of import/export (progress
bar would be nice but I'd be happy with some logging info that
would indicate the same....)
*Using Apache+mod_jk (in my case) will always give me a "Proxy
Error" after the import process runs for a while...
*Using Tomcat will sometimes give StackOverflow if Derby is used as
PM...
If the process fails, you have to start over again....
In all very painful process...
- Is there any way to speed this up?
If there was a way to do import with an option to set the "green
light" on, I could skip activation process and do 2 imports (one on
author and one on public). That would reduce the time to add large
amount of content...
- Are there any external tools that could be used that would speed
this up.
Any input in regards to this would be appreciated...
