Re: Anyone have experience merging spaces?
racheld Jun 26, 2014 2:46 PM (in response to ronanfeely)I have had this problem sometimes, then it works later and gives you a box with an indicator that it's working. Sometimes, even if the latter happens, it will get interrupted and discontinue with no indication of such.
I recommend trying it at 10pm or 6am.

Re: Anyone have experience merging spaces?
ryanrutan Jul 23, 2014 1:14 AM (in response to ronanfeely)I would check out a possible plugin from John Larson team at 7 Summits. They have a lot of content migration stuff that you might be able to leverage. The out of the box merging capabilities does so much that on a live production system it tends to take a lot of time.

Re: Anyone have experience merging spaces?
pawans Jul 23, 2014 1:40 AM (in response to ryanrutan)The major part of merging spaces is moving the content.
In jive6 we had developed a custom plugin to do this bulk movement which worked well.
Now that we are upgraded to jive7, we are already in process of developing a move content app to move content in bulk from one group/space to other group/space without notifying about this on activity page.
we have a basic app ready which moved documents and discussions. I am trying to make it more stable and also add support for blogs.
Might help you a bit with your merging process. Will share it soon when its complete.

Re: Anyone have experience merging spaces?
karenp Sep 5, 2014 2:58 AM (in response to ronanfeely)I see the same issue as you. The spaces I am merging are very small and it doesn't matter if I do this outside of peak usage times. Looks like it might be a software issue to me so I am raising with support.

hkapasi Oct 13, 2014 1:41 PM (in response to ronanfeely)We are seeing the same behavior. Merge does not do anything at all and no errors too.
Can someone from Jive respond? Is there any property that has to be tweaked for merging to work? or is this a bug?
Regards
Hemal

david.bastedo Oct 13, 2014 1:52 PM (in response to hkapasi)Hi Hemal Kapasi - I suspect that there will be messaging in your sbs.log file around why the space merging is failing. It's possible that the system may be running into an error trying to move some content. If you're not able to find a clear cause in the application logs then it may be best to open a new support case so we can take a deeper look into your specific issue.

Re: Anyone have experience merging spaces?
gordon_sorensen Oct 13, 2014 3:31 PM (in response to hkapasi)My colleague posted our original experience. It was pretty, shall we say, frustrating. And quite honestly, since prepping for our migration, conducting the migration, and dealing with post-migration issues, it has all become a bit of a blur. since I was responsible for getting all the community hierarchy in place, some of the merging I just took care of in our old, old version. Even in v4 that action was pretty stable. I don't recall if some of the merging issues were corrected with a re-start after migration or not. would have to check back thru the cases. I do recall having success in merging post-migration tho. However, what was a tad frustrating is that I would try to merge and it would throw an error with a message that wasn't all that intuitive. But what the message meant was that I didn't have content enable in the receiving community (like polls) that I did in the sending community. Once I figured out what this message meant, I would just enable all content, then go back after the fact and re-adjust. Not only was the error message not all that clear, but I also recall that I didn't always have a content in sending comms that I needed to check in the receiving comm. But just ther day I had an internal customer on one of the comms do a merge that went off without a problem.

Re: Anyone have experience merging spaces?
nicoleguzzo Nov 28, 2017 3:24 PM (in response to ronanfeely)Has anyone found a solution? I tried to merge two small spaces, but I keep getting sent back to step 3 (reference Ronan Feely's original post)... any thoughts? Thanks!
