Errors when converting XML Manifest file to json

Dashboard Server

Hi,

I am trying to convert a downloaded v2 dashboard to v3 to use in SquaredUp v3.

I have used the ps cmd:

Get-childitem "C:\Documents\V2Dashboards" -Filter *.xml|% { $_.FullName } |foreach-object -process { $_|.\MigrationTool.ps1 }

I have converted the View.xml to json.

I have zipped View.json and Manifest.xml and tried to upload to SquaredUp v3 and it failed.

I have zipped View.json and Manifest.json and it failed.

See attached PS error:

Error during upload:

Upload-Error.jpg

Is there something wrong with the Manifest files for v2 dashboards?

Am I missing something in the conversation and uploading process.

Can someone please help.

Hi SaiyadRa,

This question is probably best for Squared Up Support.

However, I can tell you that this method is not correct - No xml files are used by version 3 of Squared Up, only json, and a Dashboard Pack contains a different folder structure to previous dashboards.

The migration tool also has some switches that need to be applied, you can find these in the readme.txt contained in the zip, along with the migration tool.

Cheers,

Jelly

Hi Jelly,

You are correct.

The method I used is only for V2 dashboards for Version 2 SquaredUp.

To input the View.json into a Version 3.0 SquaredUp, I have put the View.json in the "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/squaredupv3/user/packages/everyone/dashboards" path and recycled the App pool.

This has brought the dashboard in to V3 as when I do a global search for the dashboard name , I can find it but I still cannot see it pop up in the Menu and neither under "More" tab.
