Is it possible to export content from Tridion 5.3 and import it in Tridion 2011 sp1? if yes how to do it? We have SDL Content Porter 2009 SP1 installed on Tridion 2011 SP1 server.
So the situation is:
you have a Tridion 2011 installation with a database which has some content you want to keep
you have a Tridion 5.3 installation which contains some content you want port to the 2011 instance
One possible approach is this:
Upgrade the 5.3 database to 2011 using the standard upgrade tools and link it to your Tridion 2011 instance
Link your 2011 instance to this database (instead of your current 2011 db)
Export the items you need with the Content Porter
Switch back to the original 2011 db
Import the items again with the Content Porter

Using Report Builder 2016 after creating the Data source the program freezes.
On my computer I have installed SQL Server 2016 RC 3.3 and VS Community 2015 w/ SSDT
Tried to create a blank report adding in the Data source and query, when trying to preview the report I get an error.
The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services. The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services, or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded.
Rumor has it (see Publishing ends up publishing many Components and runs out of memory for example) that custom resolvers are available in Tridion 2009. My question: how can you configure one without a TridionContentManager.config? Or am I completely off track and DOES 2009 come with this config file?
On my 2009 test system it's there (in the same location as 2011).
<Tridion Home>/config/Tridion.ContentManager.config
We installed Microsoft Visio 2010 Premium on the Tridion 2011 SP1 CMS Server. We also installed Tridion Workflow designer plug in available in Tridion 2011 SP1 installer. When we try to access this add-on in Visio 2010 it is displayed under "Inactive Add-on's List"
How to activate this add-on so that we have upload workflow to CMS server and use it?
First step, make sure that it is properly enabled:
1.- Go to the Tools menu, click Trust Center, and then click Add-ins.
2.- In the Add-ins box, at the botton select COM Add-ins and click Go
3.- Select the check box for the TCM Workflow Add-in
If this is not working, play with the other options of the Trust center, as there is some setting in it, that is blocking it from being loaded
In Tridion 5.3 SP1 version we use SiteEdit.ComponentPresentation(objCP) to display editable component presentation on page.
This is working fine in Tridion 5.3 SP1. We are migrating to Tridion 2011 SP1 so wanted to confirm that this function still exists in Tridion 2011 SP1 or its deprecated?
If its deprecated then let us know the alternate function for the same.
Upgrading from SDL Tridion R5.3 to SDL Tridion 2011 is not a step to take lightly but it is a supported path. The first thing you should focus on is the changes in product prerequisites on SDL Tridion 2011 SP1. SiteEdit is also still supported (even on VBScript templates) but for SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 its is a complete newer version of the product named User interface update for SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 (login required see here for details). Since you are coming from SiteEdit 1.3, you should contact Customer Support about getting the SiteEdit Script Extension DLL for the upgrade from SiteEdit 1.3, since the documentation only mentions it from SiteEdit 2009 SP3.
The upgrade process itself is described in our documentation (login required see here for details). Robert Curlette also wrote a nice Blog article about the upgrade to SDL Tridion 2011.
The most important things to understand here is the big step you are going forward, from your example code I see you are still using VBScript templates, which are still supported in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1, but they are deprecated so you should be looking into replacing them with our new template models. However SDL Tridion does not recommend you to include this in the upgrade project, because this would make the project too big and possibly unmanageable.
Probably the best advice I can give you for such an upgrade is to contact SDL Tridion Professional Services and have them do an upgrade scan, which will point out all the pain-points of this upgrade. Then they can also advice you the best way forward as depending on the details of your implementation, the details of the upgrade process might be different as well (like should you stay on VBScript templates or does it make sense to upgrade them, what to do with your event system and your extensions or customizations etc.).
Every time I want to use the Publishing Queue, I have to change User to myself then show the tasks. Tridion knows who I am, so why can't the form automatically display with my name selected?
This is a defect in SDL Tridion 2011 GA (I believe it worked in most versions of R5 and Tridion 2009). It is fixed in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1, so you best bet is to upgrade to the latest release.
