Invalid child path: Child path failed validation

[gch]

Hello, 

I would like to import the data and configuration from an old server to a new one. The old server is using the Thingworx / Manufacturing app 8.5.1. The new one is using Thingworx 8.5.3-b123 with the manufacturing apps 8.5.2.

The manufacturing apps has been customized, it has been successfully imported to Thingworx. But I'm not able to import the configuration in the Manufacturing apps, I'm getting the following error: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS309480

I do not understand the response, what is necessary to do?

Description

• Trying to import extension into ThingWorx the following error is occurring:

message: com.thingworx.security.io.ValidationException: Invalid child path: Child path failed validation

Resolution

• Error is due to customized extension, internal paths are not created and this should be corrected in the extension code

Hi @gch !

As you mentioned that you have done some customization work , there might be some internal path reference inside the custom extension code which need to be changed according to the newer server directory structure . 

My recommendation is to try to validate them .

Thanks

Hi,

we do not have any path defined anywhere (or we shouldn't..), We are just trying to import the configuration in the manufacturing app. We took another way: we exported the equipment and imported it from the configuration mashup in the manufacturing app. Then we exported and imported the corresponding Thing and Value Stream from the composer.
