Dear all, I want add an older data-set into the new data-set; the data structure of the old survey has been updated to exactly the same data structure; only the survey names are different: FAILED Packaged survey uri (http://www.openforis.org/idm/biotis) is different from the expected one (http://www.openforis.org/idm/mabiotis). Can somebody help me here? Joseph
Accepted answer
Dear Joseph,
if the survey names do not match, you can change the survey name in your old backup file. Well, this is a bit laborious but follow these steps:
1) copy your xx.collect-backup -> yy.collect-backup
2) rename yy.collect-backup -> yy.collect-backup.zip
3) unzip (yy.collect-backup.zip)
4) open idml.xml in NotePad++ and change survey name at line <url> to match with new name, and then save this.
5) open info.properties in NotePad++ and change similarly survey name at 2 lines (lines starting with texts 'survey_url' and 'survey_name'). Save the file.
6) Unzip all these 2 files + folders that were in the original zip.
7) Rename zz.zip -> zz.collect-backup
8) Import into Collect.
This method works also with collect-data files.
regards, Lauri
