Unexpected close tag - Import Confluence Spaces

Question

Hi team,

I am trying to import xml backups of Confluence Server spaces to Confluence Clouds.

The imports of the XMLs worked on the 11 of Jan but when I'm trying to import now I've getting the following errors:

Unexpected close tag ; expected . at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [2,9949]

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the response.

I'm getting varying results with uploads. Some are making it through without errors, whilst 2 uploads are getting stopped.

When I investigate the lines in the xml there aren't any stray ';'s.

What's confusing me is that one of the uploads I'm getting an error on worked about a month ago. I'm not aware of any changes made to our Cloud environment.

Do you know if it happens with all XML files you are importing or just this one?

Have you looked at line 9949 to see if there is a stray ';'

Can you as a test, skip the offending file and see if other XML imports have the same issue?

Just a few things to test.
