TS 7.2.1 with migrated CS but no SP -- can ignore SPARS?

fiquebem

We've migrated from TS 6.5 to TS 7.2.1, without SitePublisher, on Windows 2008 EE SP2. The installation of TS 7.2.1 went fine (except for those problems mentioned earlier), but, because we migrated the TS 6.5 Content Store to TS 7.2.1, it lacks the "/iwadmin/main/spars" branch.

So, I removed "foundation_spar" from toolkits.xml and ran make_toolkit.ipl -target clobber and later "make_toolkit.ipl -target install."

The build seems to have worked fine, but I wasn't sure if anything might be missing. So, for the sake of having a complete installation, I looked in installer.log and ran "ant -f install_archive.xml" (after setting ANT_OPTS) to install the "foundation" SPAR.

The "spars" branch was created all right, but the archive installation failed with the following error:

[archiveinstaller] java.lang.NullPointerException
[archiveinstaller] at com.interwoven.ui.teamsite.filesys.blc.FileBranchConfigProvider.getFileFromConfigBranch(FileBranchConfigProvider.java:103)
[archiveinstaller] at com.interwoven.ui.teamsite.filesys.blc.FileBranchConfigProvider.getFileInputStreamFromConfigBranch(FileBranchConfigProvider.java:77)
...

What do I do now? Just copy the contents of the "spars" branch from the oginial Content Store to a temporary folder and then import those contents into the migrated Content Store? Or not bother at all?

I don't think the product documentation mentions any of this. Or did I miss something?

Thanks,

S.

FYI, we found out the following from Autonomy Support said: "Since you're not using Sitepublisher, you can ignore SPARS."
