Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml : The provided template is not valid! #2040

Closed mahesh2005 closed 5 years ago

mahesh2005 commented 5 years ago

I am using the PNP Module in SP 2016 (16.0.4600.1000) on prem environment.

I was able to successfully export my term groups using export-pnptermgroupfromxml command in farm A.

Command used for Exporting: Export-PnPTermGroupToXml -FullTemplate -Out "FolderPath\Output.xml"

When i tried to import the XML file in farm B(same configuration as farm A) using Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml -Path "C:\folder\file.xml i got the following error: Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml : The provided template is not valid!

First few lines of the export file look like this: `<?xml version="1.0"?>

` I tried changing the schema to 2018/05 as suggested in an another post, but that did not resolve this error. ### Which version of the PnP-PowerShell Cmdlets are you using? PnP PowerShell for SharePoint 2016 ### What is the version of the Cmdlet module you are running? Version 3.8.1904.0 ### How did you install the PnP-PowerShell Cmdlets? Installed through the PowerShell Gallery with Install-Module

Hi! would you be able to provide with the exact cmdlet parameters you used to export and import them?

mahesh2005 commented 5 years ago

@erwinvanhunen I have updated the Issue with the command i used for exporting the term store. Basically i used Export-PnPTermGroupToXml -FullTemplate -Out "FolderPath\Output.xml" and Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml -Path "FolderPath\Output.xml

The error I get when attaching the debugger is The element 'AdditionalAdministrators' in namespace 'http://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2019/03/ProvisioningSchema' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'User' in namespace 'http://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2019/03/ProvisioningSchema'. So this is the same as https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Sites-Core/issues/2188

Internally a template is created using the latest schema. The version in the template file is not respected. This is the second instance of such code I come across. (Shouldn't the format of the template be respected and maintained? But this is another topic.)

So fixing the linked issue should fix this error as well.

Hi,

I am getting similar error with Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml in SPO using version 3.19.2003.0. Also tested with FullTemplate and with adding XML declaration element manually in the beginning of file but still same error -> "Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml : Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."
