Thanks for the log excerpt. The log indicates that a velocity template cannot be found:

caused by: org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find resource '/com/atlassian/confluence/extra/templates/velocity/calendar3/calendar-import-subcalendar-timeZoneRequired.vm'

Plugin related files are cached on the file system. A good first step would be to try clearing the plugin cache as described in: How to clear Confluence plugins cache

Another thing to check is to make sure that the OS user running Confluence has full permissions on the Confluence Home and Confluence Install directories as defined in: Confluence Home and other important directories It could be that the file is present but Confluence cannot find it because of permissions.

Hi Ann,

No error is displayed. Nothing happened, it remains on the Import Calendar screen.

Please find the log

Hi Swarna,

Please let me know what happens after you choose the Import button. Does an error appear in the browser? If so, please let me know what it is.

Sometimes the same error will be in the atlassian-confluence.log with more details. It is located in the directory <confluence_home>/logs. Please reproduce the error, note the time and check that time in the log to see if we can find out more about what is failing during the import.

I look forward to hearing what you find.

Best regards,

Ann
