During a data migration from one Artifactory environment to another using the Export and Import method, you might get the below error :
Binary provider has no content for ‘.....’
This means that Artifactory couldn’t locate the binaries that are associated with the DB records during the migration process.
Possible reasons are listed below :
1. The export wasn’t performed properly.
- The data was exported with the “Exclude content” checkbox checked
2. The Import procedure performed with “Exclude content” checkbox checked
3. The binarystore.xml file of the new environment is misconfigured which causes the Artifactory to look for the filestore in an incorrect path.
All of the above results in the same “Binary provider has no content for ” error, and the import process fails since there are no references to meet their content.
Follow the steps of Export and Import here to solve the issue.
