How to export Apple Wiki docs into Confluence

Joe L_bz23tg

Hello,

We have an Apple server wiki with many docs in it that I would like to export and then import into Confluence. The server information is

 

 

macOS Server 16S1195, macOS 10.11.6(Build 15G19009)
OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
Wiki version 5.2(16S1195)

 

I have tried using wikiadmin to create an export in json but get error. Here is the command I used

sudo wikiadmin export -name XYZ -format json -path /tmp/wikiexport

 

The error is

Error: Caught top-level exception: [PGCUnknownTypeError] Unknown type OID 12345 for value [own], exiting

Error: Exit with status: 27

 

Does anyone know how to get the documents out of the Apple wiki and into a format that can be imported into Confluence? Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance

@Joe L I haven't used Apple Server wiki before. However in order to import external documents into Confluence, you can refer through a few ways below:

• You need to export all of your documents from Apple Server wiki
• You need to understand its structure and transform it into these Confluence supported format:
  • Transform your export file into Confluence export xml file
  • Import it back to Confluence by using Restoring a Site or Restoring a Space
• Another way is to use our REST api to import it into Confluence, you can refer it Confluence Server REST API
• Or you can import the whole directory that include the text file, refer here Import a text file

For other type of documents, you can refer it here:  https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf64/import-content-into-confluence-936510869.html
