Thanks! I learned about plugins using Manuel Schnitger's examples to begin with, so obviously this is what I need now.

We have installed a new v11 HF6 Open Text Management Server on a new Windows Server 2008 R2 VM. During the installation we pointed to a copy of our 10.1 database, having made a few changes directly to the DB as well. The installation process updated the 10.1 database as required. We see all of our projects and users and we have retained the GUIDs as well as all obvious project information. One issue I am trying to resolve is the behavior of plugins. The RQL Console plugin will start but does not execute, and nothing is being written to RDCMS.log, as it normally does. Nothing happens. When I try other plugins that I have written they return a 500 - Internal Server error. There also is no evidence of anything being written to log files that I have found. There has been some mention in this group of RQL changes in V11. If someone might offer some explanation and/or advice about what to use, that would be very helpful. If there is any example of a plugin that should work in v11, then I that would also help. Thanks in advance for any information about RQL and plugins in v11. I have been using .ASP plugins.

I will create a more format blog post later Problem with LDAP user is that GUID changes upon user creation. How to keep it the same!!!!???? >From server manager, you can backup administrative settings. That export >contains an XML file with user info, including user GUID. When you export project, you can include users too. That info is also saved to a XML. If we can export and import project with users, why are we talking? Well, because the export user with project is broken, it doesn't include all users all the time. The trick: what if I export a really simple project with users, then edit the XML an replace content inside with the content from backup administrative XML. Then import the project with users? Bingo. Why I say version 10? Well, they don't allow you to backup administrative settings in version 11. What does it mean? I assume it means he export and import with user option in version 11 is finally working 100% On Thursday, January 31, 2013 11:15:03 AM UTC-5, Hilmar Bunjes wrote: I had the same problem of losing user GUIDS when moving RedDot to new servers - especially an issue if users have thing s saved in draft as they become set to 'unknown user'. To get around the problem and assuming that the user names from LDAP are unique I wrote some code to: Export user rights for modules / projects and groups. Export the user info of pages saved as draft. Once the projects have been copied over to the new server and the LDAP users imported: Import user rights for modules / projects and groups. Import the user info of pages saved as draft. The main points of the code are probably in the last version of RedDotNet <http://www.solutionexchange.info/RedDotNet.htm> I released in Utils/Users.cs. There is also another way to workaround this issue (please note that this will not be supported by Open Text, although this is working very good if you know what you do): Migrate the ioAdministration database from the old to the new server and adjust the computer, database and system settings. Then you do a user import and, if the guids have changed, you can change them back in the database. This way you will keep your full history of changes for the pages (if you need them e.g. for legals).
