The exposed situation seems not to be a bug in the server directly but is arguably a bit difficult.
In 'import compatible' mode, the client (gtk or web), not the server can choose which fields are exportable or not. In this case, while 'import compatible' is correctly checked, it is still possible to export data that the import mechanism won't be able to process (for good reason, for instance a field is read-only). One of those reason concerns fields that are relationships to other objects. That is, fields with a '+' in the GUI. The exported value of those field is usually computed from the values of the object it points to. Although it is nice, it is difficult to do the opposite processing: parse a single field and update the corresponding data in the object. As an example, you can export the 'Contacts' field. Its value will be a concatenation of the street, the contact name and other things. But on the other hand, it is clear that it is not possible to update the individual fields of an Address just by giving a single value. So the problem is really in the GUI which doesn't really honor what 'import compatible' should mean. A bug was filled against the client to change the situation. Another problem is the lack of thorough checking at import time to report better error messages. In the mean time, don't export the '+' fields as-is but only their sub- fields. When modifying an exported csv file to import it after, be sure to not give Database IDs: those can be used if you want to modify the associated data but not to create new data. Database IDs are assigned by the system when data are created. If you need to refer to those data, use a simple ID. ** Changed in: openobject-server Importance: High => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697129 Title: import error in v6rc2 Status in OpenERP Server: In Progress Bug description: hi, i am trying to manually migrate from v5.0.15 to v6.rc2. i am trying by simple export and import method. is that wrong? anyway,i got some problems so i thought maybe i should familiarize with the process a little more.s i made a new database with demo data loaded in v6 and another configured but emty database .i tried to import/export in the same versions from loaded with demo data databse to the empty one. with this senario i got this exception. i go to address book in sales and export with these fields: account payable and recievable and the name. i import this csv file in the empty database and everything is dandy. but as soon as i add contacts and contacts name,when i want to import it gives : File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/netsvc.py", line 489, in dispatch result = ExportService.getService(service_name).dispatch(method, auth, params) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/service/web_services.py", line 598, in dispatch res = fn(db, uid, *params) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/osv/osv.py", line 122, in wrapper return f(self, dbname, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/osv/osv.py", line 176, in execute res = self.execute_cr(cr, uid, obj, method, *args, **kw) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/osv/osv.py", line 167, in execute_cr return getattr(object, method)(cr, uid, *args, **kw) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/osv/orm.py", line 858, in import_data process_liness(self, datas, [], current_module, self._name, fields_def, position=position) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/osv/orm.py", line 791, in process_liness res2 = process_liness(self, datas, prefix + [field[len(prefix)]], current_module, relation_obj._name, newfd, pos, first) File "/home/nima/Desktop/openerp-server-6.0.0-rc2/bin/osv/orm.py", line 767, in process_liness if field[len(prefix)]=='id': IndexError: list index out of range i don't get an idea what causes this error. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
