Fulljournaltransfer plugin problems

Hi,
Our OJS is version 2.4.8.3
We are trying to use the fulljournaltransfer plugin to migrate our workflow to an new instance of the journal.

We have uploaded the plug in, and are able to execute this at command line (php tools/importExport.php FullJournalImportExportPlugin export .tar.gz ) The command does not produce an error message, but as far as we can tell no tar file is being produced.

has anyone else had this problem?
Has anyone recently used this plug in on this version of OJS, or on 2.4.8.1

We are wondering if we have to change versions.

Many thanks for all insights.

Hi @catalystjournal,

I would suggest contacting the authors of that plugin; it’s not written by PKP.

Hi Asmecher. We have posted an issue on the github, but I don’t think it is very active anymore. So If anyone has some helpful reflections based on their own experiences, that would be a help. Thanks!

When used the command lines, nothing is done.

Hello @esciencepress,

What version of PHP and OJS is being used?

You can export via the command line an issue by native plugin OJS?

@abadan

The ojs version is 2.4.8.5

You can try export via the command line an issue, by native plugin OJS?
(no fullJournalImportExportPlugin)

Usage:
php importExport.php NativeImportExportPlugin export [xmlFileName] [journal_path] issue [issueId]

Hi, I have an OJS (upgraded to 2.4.8.5) installation and want to move few journals to another installation (2.4.8.5 fresh install). Using full journal transfer plugin, I am able to export journal .taz.gz files however while importing, it is creating an issue. Upon uploading, it says the journal was imported successfully but not imported in actual.

The error code is as under:
