Trying to convert an old A2J Guided Interview to A2J Author version 6.0 on a2jauthor.org. I download the interview file from LawHelp Interactive (LHI) or another server that's hosting my interview live right now. When I try to upload it to a2jauthor.org I get an error message that says "invalid xml." How do I fix this? What is going on?
A2JAuthor.org expects A2J Guided Interviews created in A2J Author 4.0. Some interviews, created in A2J Author 3 or earlier did not contain the xml code the conversion tool in a2jauthor.org expects. The A2J Author 4 Viewer, running on LHI or another server, was able to handle older versions of the interviews. That's why the A2J 3 or earlier interviews are live and working now in the viewer. However, our converter tool is currently not able to handle older interviews. (There's a ticket in our system to add additional conversion assistance for older interviews right now.)
Work around:
- Download interview file from LHI or another server
- Extract zipped file
- Open interview.xml file in A2J Author 4 (available to download here.)
- Rename the file in A2J Author 4
- It should save that new file with the extension .a2j (example Divorce.a2j)
- Log into your a2jauthor.org account and open A2J Author (under the Author tab)
- Upload the new file
- Conversion should happen almost instantaneously and you now have an A2J Guided Interview in version 6 that's ready for testing and QA
