The import process will then fail. When the documents are imported, an area
is created for each folder; a document library in that area is created with the same
name as the area. The relevant documents are stored in this new document library,
and links are placed in the Portal Listings list for the area, for each document in the
document library. The SPIn output you will see on the command line will look similar
to the following text:
W:\SPOutSPIn>spin http://intranet woodgrovedocsit.xml /area it

If the server running SharePoint Portal Server where you are running the SPIn
tool is also an index server, the search component will be stopped. This is primarily
for performance reasons. SPIn process creates a special registry value under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Sharepoint Portal Server\FullControlSID
to ensure that the person who is running the import-job always has the right to
access the imported files. This registry value is removed after the import job is
finished.
In the folder where you execute SPIn, two SPIn-related text files will be created:
an error file and a log file. You should review both these files. If SPIn could not resolve
the accounts specified in the export XML files, it will default to the account that is performing
the migration. This behavior is similar to the SharePoint Team Services migration
tool. Therefore, when restoring a site, it is often helpful to create an account
specifically for this purpose.
If you migrated SharePoint Portal Server 2001 categories into SharePoint Portal
Server 2003 as portal areas, SPIn will detect this and use any categories in the document
profiles information to link the imported documents into the appropriate areas.
