Export to XML - XML contains 2 spaces

Question

hello all,

we're migrating from Confluence Cloud to Confluence Server and have to migrate few Confluence spaces. The first one went good and we imported it, all good.

Exporting the second one also worked fine but while importing is, we got an error message due to a duplicate key. Analyzing that, we saw that the second XML contains the second space AND the first one and the key of the second space leads to the error.

Trying to export other spaces works fine, just one space in the XML. It seems that just in one case, the export does export two spaces, but we do not understand why.

Anyone seen something similar?

thanks, Roland

Hi Tarun

I found our situation described in CONFCLOUD-64563 and opened a support request. It might be related to database issue.

thanks for your feedback, Roland

Hello @turo

If you take a backup of a single space from cloud then it should contain only 1 space and not 2. I am not sure if that's the case that it's containing 2 spaces. Are you sure that the server instance doesn't have a space with exact same "key" which you are trying to restore from the cloud instance.
