vBulletin Big Board Importer [vBulletin 3 + vBulletin 4] [Paid] 1.5.0

[jazz_aaf]

A recent web-import I did a conversion for took 36 hours using the web importer.

With this, it took about 40 minutes.

Thats what, approximatly 50x faster?

Thanks. That is a big difference in speed.

So, now that this import is not ready for Xenforo 1.2, if I want to use it with our vb3, I should first install XenForo 1.1.5 then do the import, and after all that proceed with the upgrade to version 1.2?

Also, upgrading from 1.1.5 (imported) to version 1.2 would be a long process like the import or not?

Thanks

There are some alter table statements in the 1.2 upgrade that make it not quite "instant", but it's not terrible. The worst is that it adds 3 columns to the xf_post table (related to the post edit history).

Correct, however 1.2 support is not far off.

Thanks ... will give it a try on our test forum.

That's good. What are the new features we should expect in the new version?

Post edit history importing.

 

[jazz_aaf]

Post edit history importing.

Thanks.

The upgrade process in our test forum (>3M posts) took approximately 6 minutes

I went ahead and installed XenForo 1.1.5.
Filled out all the necessary fields in both files.

I am not able to import from our vb3 database.

The first warning I am getting before I do any import is:

!!!WARNING!!! - set charset to 'binary' in XenForo_Application:loadDb()

Then if I choose option 1 (for posts) I am getting the following error:

exporting posts...
          postssh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
wc: /tmp/xf_post.txt: No such file or directory
(0 records in 0.03s)...
split: cannot open `/tmp/xf_post.txt' for reading: No such file or directory
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.

I am trying to do an import test before the actual import.

Any help on this?

That is a notification. Do as it says.

Then if I choose option 1 (for posts) I am getting the following error:

exporting posts...
          postssh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
wc: /tmp/xf_post.txt: No such file or directory

That is going to be some kind of server limitation.

How?

Also, I managed to solve the server issue but got another one:





The postsrm ..

And the number of records reported isn't correct!

How?

Ignore that. It's trying to delete data files from a previous run. They may not exist if you haven't run the importer before.

At the top of the export file is a setting for incremental posts. Try disabling that and then run it again. That may give you the expected number of posts.

Did that, but it still showing a very low number. We have more than 3M posts.



Also it is returning back to the prompt instead of giving the user the choices menu to choose the next step. (May be this is by design?)

Thanks.

Another things to be noticed .. regardless of the choice I choose .. It will show (197 records in 0.01s).

For example, exporting forums:

The same problem I have with mysql.

Please check page 5 for details. In the files you will find the default mysql-output.

But there are no solution ahead for this

I suggest reading the thread, where an update was made only yesterday.

Probably ready by tonight.

 

[jazz_aaf]

So your mysql doesn't like the replace commands being run.

Alright, leave it with me for now.

Any new update on this issue? We are facing the same problem and I did not see any solution for it in here.

Re: 1.2 update

I just realized a minor problem with incremental posts. If incremental then it doesn't set the right positions of new posts within the thread. I am working on this right now.

This is a cache problem that should be correctable by simply rebuilding the thread information with Rebuild position and post counters enabled, but I am trying to avoid that. Will post updates.
