Is there a script available to move 3.04.08 documents to 05.02.01 on an different DNN instance (different portal id). I'm in the process of retiring a current DNN instance and moving the files to a different instance (same web server). Both instances are using the same SQL Server (different databases). The reason for the move is that I had so much problems with the older version of DNN and it would not upgrade. So the next best thing was to create a new version and move old stuff over. Thanks

Hi Bill, There isn't one because so much of the data is tied to users and roles. These do not correspond from portal to portal. You'd need to try to migrate your data from one 03.04.08 to another 03.04.08 first and then upgrade to 5. You could attempt the migration with a tool like Red Gate SQL data compare. And then you'll need to make sure that things like the AdministratorRoleID (in portals) is correctly mapped and all role IDs are still the same in the target installation. Another approach is to export the current content. Then you'd lose the permission structure though. Exporting is not a feature of DMX 3 but it could be programmed. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
