Hi kasto,

I also have meet the same problem. After I check my server environment, only WSS 3.0 install on server farm. I can execute the tool after install MOSS 2007 in server farm environment.

NEW POST: MOSSDW exception when deleting data

Carsten — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 15:36:58 GMT

Hi

I'm trying out this nice tool, and are experiencing some difficulties.

The examples given contains tags "Sites", which is not recognized by MOSSDW. Old stuff? (The tag is not mentioned in the help file).

I've created a small working example, which works nicely when creating the data, but when it comes to deleting, an exeption occurs. If several Webs are created, this means that only the first Web is deleted (if only one Web is created, it deleted ok).

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - can someone else?

Here is the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MOSSDWLib>
  <!-- Just some testing 
  <SetGlobalProperty prop1="prop1value" prop2="prop2value" />
  <Echo message="This is a display message" />
  <Echo message="This is a display message with Global Properties: $prop1$, $prop2$" />
  -->
  <!-- The site collection must exist beforehand for this example -->
  <TestPortal SiteUrl="http://myserver:10456/sites/CSA">
    <!-- Creating a number of Webs, in each Web 4 different pages are created with varying Status and one with different pagelayout -->
    <!-- TO BE FIXED: When deleting this an exception is thrown, and only the first Web are deleted -->
    <TestArea num="2" start="1" UrlName="DPT_Test_Web$num$" NameEqualUrlName="false" Title="Test af NameEqualUrlName=false">
      <TestPage Name="default.aspx" Status="Published" openmode="modifyexisting" Description="Beskrivelse: Status = Published"/>

      <TestPage Name="defaultcheckedout.aspx" Status="Checkedout" openmode="modifyexisting" Description="Beskrivelse: Status = Checkedout"/>
      <TestPage Name="defaultCheckedin.aspx" Status="Checkedin" openmode="modifyexisting" Description="Beskrivelse: Status = Checkedin"/>
      <!-- This last one with a different pagelayout -->
      <TestPage Name="default_WS.aspx" Status="Published" openmode="modifyexisting" Description="Beskrivelse: Baseret på WelcomeSplash.aspx masterpage" PageLayout="WelcomeSplash.aspx"/>
