Introduction

Atlassian may request a copy of entities.xml file from a customer's exported zip file, in order to diagnose database corruption, or find a bug in Confluence.

If your data is confidential, you can run this program over your enitites.xml file, removing all your data, leaving only the structure of the export.

Usage

To run the anonymiser on your backup:

1. Download the anonymiser JAR.
2. Extract the entities.xml file from your zipped backup file to the same directory as the JAR.
3. Use the command prompt to go to the directory where all three files are located
4. To create cleaned.xml, run the command:

java -jar confluence-export-cleaner-1.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar entities.xml cleaned.xml

This release of the export cleaner uses STX, a fast and efficient XML transformation technology. It should not require a lot of memory to run, even for a large backup.

Development

For Atlassian developers:

• Source code
• Maven repository.
