Spectra 1.5 Hotfix: Error while upgrading a 1.01 CODB to 1.5: "Containers cannot have children"
A "Containers cannot have children" error message may occur while on step 15 of the process of upgrading a Spectra 1.01 Datasource to Spectra 1.5. This error occurs because Spectra 1.0 allowed containers and pages to share the same name. Under this logic, sections, instead of pages, were considered parents of containers. This is incorrect and causes the <cfa_siteelementgetchildren> tag to abort, resulting in the "containers cannot have children" error, and a failed upgrade process. Pages must parent containers, not sections. Macromedia has provided a hot fix for this issue:
