messages missing after transfer


 

Our transfer just finished and tt looks like about two years of messages didn't migrate. Any suggestions?

Peter -- It's likely a problem with a Yahoo Groups server that occurred at the time of group export. Can you log into Yahoo Groups and see these messages now? See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/46284383#22742?for another discussion along these lines and possible remedies.

The bottom line is that the transfer agent occasionally runs into the same YG foibles that the rest of us have had the pleasure of experiencing over the past 5 years.?

Good luck,
Bruce

If it's only been a short time, I'd give it a little more.? It can take awhile for the indexing to catch up to the import.? Have you looked in the archive for a message that was posted during that time frame?

Thanks, Bruce. The message we got back from the transfer agent was that it couldn't transfer 290 messages. This gap equates to about 4,000.

Yes, the messages are still present in the yahoo group.


 

Thanks. I am able to read the messages on the yahoo group. We got the email this morning that the transfer had completed, and it said it couldn't transfer 290 messages. However, this gap equates to about 4,000 missing messages.


 

Ha - they just appeared! Looks like you were right about the indexing, Bruce.

Thanks, all.

Peter

Peter, I understood Duane's post to mean "have you looked in Groups.io itself" to see if those messages are there?

From what I understand, messages may be present on the server but not be listed in the list, due to indexing reasons. Is that so, Duane?

Yes.? A week or so ago, it would take several days for the indexing to catch up.? Along with the faster imports, Mark tweaked the indexer so it usually only takes an hour or so.? The actual amount of time depends on how many messages are imported.
