🔧 Troubleshooting​

If Import Fails​

  1. Check file exists: docker-compose exec nextcloud ls -la /var/www/html/apps-extra/softwarecatalog/lib/Settings/GEMMA_release.xml
  2. Clear status: docker-compose exec nextcloud curl -X POST "http://localhost/index.php/apps/softwarecatalog/api/archimate/import/cancel" -u admin:admin
  3. Check logs: docker-compose exec nextcloud tail -n 50 /var/www/html/data/nextcloud.log

If Export is Empty​

  1. Verify import worked: docker-compose exec nextcloud php /var/www/html/apps-extra/softwarecatalog/debug_db.php
  2. Check object counts in database
  3. Re-run import if needed

If Comparison Shows Differences​

  1. Check specific sections (elements, relationships, etc.)
  2. Look for patterns in the differences
  3. Verify property definitions are correct
  4. Check source/target values in relationships

📊 File Sizes Reference​

  • GEMMA_release.xml: ~13MB (254,814 lines)
  • Exported XML: Should be similar size
  • Comparison report: JSON file with detailed differences

🔍 Manual Inspection Commands​

# Check first 50 lines of export
docker-compose exec nextcloud head -n 50 /tmp/test_export.xml

# Count elements
docker-compose exec nextcloud grep -c '<element ' /tmp/test_export.xml

# Count relationships  
docker-compose exec nextcloud grep -c '<relationship ' /tmp/test_export.xml

# Check specific element
docker-compose exec nextcloud grep -A 10 'id-009fa62f25844aa3a87d252bf2b6bb0c' /tmp/test_export.xml
