STSADM -o export does not appear to handle surveys correctly

I originally posted this on the SharePoint forums, but my post was moved to
off-topic, being told by Mike Walsh that this has to be Posted in the Project
Server Forum....

http://social.technet.microsoft.com...c/thread/36b24f66-a65a-4a5d-9723-4b74a90fe3d1

But to that end, this is an issue with STSADM -export.... And how it goes
about importing and exporting...
Really, whats the difference between a Project workspace and a WSS
Workspace, not a whole lot...
This a SHAREPOINT FARM, that happens to have project server installed as well.
Surveys are NOT project server specific, they can be in MOSS or Project
server... And this issue happens in either case... not just on the project
server side.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 2 snipits from my export and import logs that descibes the behavior I
am seeing...

But basiclly, i find that the export/import tools for STSADM do not work
properly for Survey lists.

1st - It only exports items 4 and 5 from the survey?? WTF?? What happened to
items 1, 2, 3???

Hi Mossguy,

for goodness sake!). Re-post and hopefully someone sensible will anwer...

Imagine the scenario:
1. You created a survey with some questions.
2. For test purpose, you enabled Allow multiple responses and created some
responses.
3. You deleted the first 3 response or the first 3 responses were not
completed.
4. You changed the Allow multiple responses to No before the survey went live.
5. You export and import the site include the survey.

If true, because the first 3 responses were not completed or deleted, it
would not be include in the export file.

During the import process, because the survey does not Allow multiple
responses, the response #5 cannot be imported.
To check the settings, please go to Survey Settings > General Settings in
the imported site.
Although the survey responses were not imported correctly, the survey list
schema itself was import correctly based on the import log.

If the original site cannot be recovered and the responses were important to
your business, you could follow the steps to modify the export file and re
import to a Blank site.
1. Rename the export file to export.cab
2. Extract the file to Export folder.
3. Open the Manifest.xml file with Notepad.
4. Search the Title="<SURVEY_TITLE>" (Title="Post Implementation Review" for
your issue).
5. The result looks like:
<List Id="**" RootFolderUrl="***" ParentWebId="***" ParentWebUrl="***"
RootFolderId="***" Title="Post Implementation Review" Description=""
Direction="none" BaseType="Survey" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/itsurvey.gif"
BaseTemplate="Survey"
TemplateFeatureId="00bfea71-eb8a-40b1-80c7-506be7590102" Flags="545263624"
AllowDeletion="true" AllowMultiResponses="false" EnableModeration="false"
EnableVersioning="false" EnableMinorVersions="false"
RequestAccessEnabled="true" DraftVersionVisibility="Reader"
ForceCheckout="false" ExcludeFromTemplate="false" Hidden="false"
MultipleDataList="false" EnableContentTypes="false" Ordered="false"
ShowUser="true" ReadSecurity="1" WriteSecurity="2" Version="7"
Created="2009-08-28T06:56:16" Author="1" EnableDeployWithDependentList="true"
EnableFolderCreation="false" DefaultItemOpen="PreferClient"
OnQuickLaunch="true" EnableAssignToEmail="false" EnableSyndication="true"
IrmEnabled="false"
6. Change the AllowMultiResponses to"true".
7. Save the Manifest.xml.
8. Run stsadm –o import -url IMPORTED_SITE_URL -filename EXPORT_FOLDER_PATH
-nofilecompression

Hope the information can be helpful.

SharePoint techies seem to have a strong aversion to Project Server, and I
can't say that I blame them if imagine myself in their shoes. You should be
aware of this only because any mention or even veiled reference to our world
in a SharePoint newsgroup post gets you summarily bounced over here. All the
words that come past the word "Project Server" will be ignored. Your problem
is that you mentioned it at the beginning of the post rather than at the
end.

But to that end, this is an issue with STSADM -export.... And how it goes
about importing and exporting...
Really, whats the difference between a Project workspace and a WSS
Workspace, not a whole lot...
This a SHAREPOINT FARM, that happens to have project server installed as
well.
Surveys are NOT project server specific, they can be in MOSS or Project
server... And this issue happens in either case... not just on the project
server side.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 2 snipits from my export and import logs that descibes the behavior
I
am seeing...

But basiclly, i find that the export/import tools for STSADM do not work
properly for Survey lists.

1st - It only exports items 4 and 5 from the survey?? WTF?? What happened
to
items 1, 2, 3???

Thanks Lambert!!

I will look into this and hopefully find a resolution....

This situation happened sometime ago in DR situation, so I have not had to
deal with it ina while, but i don't really want to have to tell peopel we
lost there surveys again, it was pretty ugly...

Thanks again!

Imagine the scenario:
1. You created a survey with some questions.
2. For test purpose, you enabled Allow multiple responses and created some
responses.
3. You deleted the first 3 response or the first 3 responses were not
completed.
4. You changed the Allow multiple responses to No before the survey went live.
5. You export and import the site include the survey.

If true, because the first 3 responses were not completed or deleted, it
would not be include in the export file.

During the import process, because the survey does not Allow multiple
responses, the response #5 cannot be imported.
To check the settings, please go to Survey Settings > General Settings in
the imported site.
Although the survey responses were not imported correctly, the survey list
schema itself was import correctly based on the import log.

If the original site cannot be recovered and the responses were important to
your business, you could follow the steps to modify the export file and re
import to a Blank site.
1. Rename the export file to export.cab
2. Extract the file to Export folder.
3. Open the Manifest.xml file with Notepad.
4. Search the Title="<SURVEY_TITLE>" (Title="Post Implementation Review" for
your issue).
5. The result looks like:
<List Id="**" RootFolderUrl="***" ParentWebId="***" ParentWebUrl="***"
RootFolderId="***" Title="Post Implementation Review" Description=""
Direction="none" BaseType="Survey" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/itsurvey.gif"
BaseTemplate="Survey"

EnableFolderCreation="false" DefaultItemOpen="PreferClient"
OnQuickLaunch="true" EnableAssignToEmail="false" EnableSyndication="true"
IrmEnabled="false"
6. Change the AllowMultiResponses to"true".
7. Save the Manifest.xml.
8. Run stsadm –o import -url IMPORTED_SITE_URL -filename EXPORT_FOLDER_PATH
-nofilecompression

Hope the information can be helpful.
