Migrating the Version History

[down_stream]

Is there still a way to migrate version history between instances?  Specifically looking to import content from an older repository along with the version history.

Best options?

Thanks.

The best way is to follow the recommendation that is specified in the Adobe CQ documentation.

There is no import option in 5.6.1

Inplace upgrade should include version history also. Are you not seeing it?

In case you are not doing inplace upgrade as alternative try  package with filter set to: /jcr:system/jcr:versionStorage OR 

use the vlt tool (i.e. file vault) to rcp the version history between instance.

I am setting up a 5.6.1 instance, and following the documentation url in the previous post. It mentions the "version import tool" is required to import the version data, but this url seems to not be available from 5.5 on?
/crx/loader/version_import.jsp

Is the tool still accessible?

Here are the docs to upgrade to 5.6 -- http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/deploying/upgrading.html. This topic talks about the tools you use when upgrading to 5.6 such as the Backup and Restore tool. If this topic is not clear or you have questions about it -- let us know in this forum thread.

I tried with vlt -rcp -r (recursive ) option and recap sync plugin but It didn't worked. But when I install through package manager it throws error:

Error: javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: Unable to perform operation. Node is protected.

Then I tried with ignore option in filter but It was throwing Record not found on a required UUID node.

Hi,

Tools section is not referring to version import when I try with http://localhost:4502/crx/loader/index.jsp. It is showing blank page. But when I go to backup I dont see restore option.

   Can you please help me to import .crx file into CQ 5.6.1

regards
