Can't Import Microsoft Project files in 3.0 RC2


Jules Van de Velde (3633) | asked Nov 03 '10, 2:05 p.m.
I have installed RTC 3.0 RC2 and I'm trying to evaluate the importing of Microsoft Project XML files. However, when I click on either the 'Import Microsoft Project XML file' or the 'Export Microsoft Project XML file', I get a JS dialog error that says:

'Import/Export Microsoft Project XML file' cannot be executed

After this, the buttons are then disabled.

I have managed to get the import dialog to show up by altering the HTML using firebug, specifically by removing the 'jazz-ui-SimpleToolbar-button-disabled' CSS class from the button and setting the aria-disabled attribute to false.

After doing this, i can get the xml import dialog to show up but whenever I try to import a xml file, I get the following error when I click Finish

Exception occurred while importing the XML file. Exception : invalid UUID

The above happens with a Simple, Scrum and the new Project Management project templates. I see that the import dialog shows up here at jazz.net but I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Found the problem and thought I would post it here.

Even though the Import/Export buttons are enabled at first on the create new plan UI, a plan must first be created/saved before Importing/Exporting.

I am also having the same problem trying to upload some RUP iteration plans. Any ideas, anybody?
