Ok - it looks like this actual 2010 install is FUBAR, as the import works fine 
on my dev environment and there are a variety of error in the logs, including 
this from nasty from SQL when importing the list:
Unknown SQL Exception 206 occurred. Additional error information from SQL 
Server is included below.
Operand type clash: datetime is incompatible with uniqueidentifier

A re-run of the config wizard, and a repair, both gave this message 
(WEBCONFIG.ACCSRV.XML file is identical to one on my 'nilla dev sp2010):
An exception of type System.IO.InvalidDataException was thrown. Additional 
exception information: The web configuration file, C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\config\WEBCONFIG.ACCSRV.XML, 
does not have element 
configuration/configSections/sectionGroup[@name='SharePoint'] or it is 
invalid.

Next steps will be a reboot and then a complete reinstall, unless there are 
some other ideas?

Many thanks for your help Paul and Matthew


Definately sounds like we are all thinking the same way as I've checked those 
things.

Pach level was fine as it's been moved to the same farm - however missing 
feature references etc in the content, as it originally came from 2007 and was 
then upgraded, is a distinct possibility.

We've also tried without identity, security, versions and dependecies - same 
darn com error.

It's an RTM 2010, so I'm just investigating if there have been any 
import/export/content migration fixes making SP1 + Oct CU worthwhile - none i 
can see so far. However, if there is some sort of server issue an upgrade may 
be worthwhile.

The GL command didn't help, as it does exactly the same stuff under the skin, 
so threw the same unhelpfull error. I'll have a look at the Chris O'Brian 
content migration wizard next.

Any advice on the quickest way to trouble-shoot the below error when importing 
a list that was exported from a different farm?

Are the ULS logs the place to start, or does the import show all the info 
available to stdout?

Or does anyone recommend a tool or technique that gives generally better 
rsults/insights that the standard import/export - e.g. gl-exportlist and 
gl-importlist?

RE: Import error - guidance on troubleshooting please.

2011-11-07 Thread Matthew Cosier
My 30 second read and thoughts:

Might be a long shot, but can you verify that they are both patched to the
same versions?   Lots of serialization code being executed in that
callstack, most common issue when deserializing is due to differences in the
current code vs that of the sale object you're trying to deserialize.
