I'm trying to import a document library from SP 2001 into a WSS 2003 site
using SPIN. I have been able to get three of the 4 libraries I need to import
moved but one is giving me fits.

I get all the way through the process and get an error referencing the XML
file being unable to parse, Please check the logs. The only indication of a
failure in SPIN error log is as follows:

EXCEPTION: Stack empty.
at System.Collections.Stack.Pop()
at
Microsoft.SharePoint.Migration.Import.ImportFileParser.ParseImportXmlFile(String fileName)
An error occured when parsing the xml. Please check the logs.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It isn't supposed to be possible to migrate from SPS 2001 to WSS at all, so
I would if you really need this document library consider installing an
evaluation copy of SPS 2003 and migrating to that.

That said I don't know if you could then copy what would be a
backward-compatible SPS 2003 doc lib to WSS ...

Or to put it another way you have already done the impossible three times,
why not be happy with that.

P.S. I suspect that people in the SPS newsgroup would be more likely to have
moved things from SPS 2001 than people here - it's at
microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver

Thanks for the advice Mike. I actually figured it out eventually. I had to
break the export down into smaller chunks. Some bright boy figured it was ok
to pack 1700 folders and 7500 files into that library. We will be doing a
little end-user education in the comining weeks I do believe.

Anyway just so you know it can be done and you don't lose anything out of
the 2001 library. Use SPout to export and SPin to import. If the XML doesn't
parse it is probably because your library is too big.

Thanks again.

If it's that easy then it makes you wonder why people bother with
backward-compatible doc libs in SPS 2003.

But that's a question for the SPS newsgroup so let's call this thread a day.
Thanks for the info.
