Not able to import YF XML file
3 February, 2014
Hello Yellowfin
We are using YF 7 and was experimenting with the Export/import function from Admin Console.
First we exported metadata for two reports and associated items:
We pressed Next and Next to export the metadata.
In the same instance of Yellowfin we now tried the import function from Admin Console. From the inface we chose "V�lg fil" (Choose file), and found the file we previously exported:
When we pressed Next an error occured:
Are we doing something wrong, or is it a bug?
Best regards, Lise

Hi Lise,
It looks like you hit next, which started the import validation process, and then you clicked another button somewhere on the page, which will then display the error you are seeing.
So what happens is.. you start the import process..
it starts thinking..
you then click on another button, YF then says "you can't do something else while I'm thinking"... and then the import process is stopped, so you have to start again.
Does this sound like it is what happened?
To confirm this, hit 'next' and then wait until you get to the next page. You may need to wait a little while (depending on how long things take to validate).
Also, it may be worth checking if things will a little different in browsers.
E.g. Chrome should be faster than IE.
Please let me know how you go.
Regards,
David

Hi David
I'm sure that I did not press next more than one time ... ;-)
But...
I just tried again (in same browser - Chrome), and this time the error did not occur. I noticed that a progress indicator was shown in lower left corner - I did not see that last time.
I have no idea why it works now and not last time...
