How to Rezip the extracted DMF Package

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2,225

Hi,

 

When we follow the below steps, I'm getting this error on Step4 : "Could not find file {GUID} at C:\Windows\Temp"

 

Step1: Create DMF Export Project with multiple data entities. Export and download the package.

Step2: Extract the package, make changes to data and manifest files.

Step3: Rezip the Package as ZIP file using Winrar.

Step4: Create import project and import the Zip Archive as a package.

 

What steps can we follow to rezip the package so system doesn't throws error.

I'm aware that import works if we directly paste the entities in the original Zipped Archive that was downloaded in Step1. But I wanted to know the method to rezip which won't require pasting files into original archive.

    Hi MYGz,
     
    What exact data entities are you using? What exact changes did yo make to the data and the manifest files? 
    Are there attachments included which are stored in a resources subfolder?

    Found the issue.
     
    My mistake was I was extracting the ZipArchive and then ReZipping the Extracted folder instead of going one level down and only ReZip the files. That's the reason it was throwing error of not able to find the PackageHeader.xml
     
    Sometimes trying to explain the issue creates a bit more clarity :)
     
    Thanks for your continuous support.
