Rules restore issue

Hi,

I am currently running SQ 7.7 (test instance) and trying to restore the quality profile from my production SQ instance which is 6.1. I downloaded the file from the prod box locally and its in xml format. When I try a restore on my test instance, I see a warning message as below.

0 rule(s) restored, 6 rule(s) ignored in profile "FindBugs Security JSP"

Rules are not getting imported. Can you please help?

Note: “FindBugs Security JSP” is the default profile name.

Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,

Are you sure the FindBugs plugin is loaded on the new instance?

Thanks Ann, installing the plugin resolved the issue for me.
I am trying to restore a a quality profile under Java and I see a message like below. Dont see anything in the logs on the server side for 60 rules being ignored. Anywhere else we could look?

Hi Vinay,

You should check the XML of the profile backup to see what rule repositories everything comes from, then make sure you have all those repositories available in your instance. At a guess, your profile has rules from Checkstyle or PMD and you haven’t added the correct plugin.
