Problem with namespace migrating from oss to central repo

post by Ralph_Soika on Jul 9, 2025

Hello,

I am migrating my open source projects from old ‘ https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots’ to the new ‘ Repository - Sonatype Nexus Repository’.

This works already for some of my projects.

But I have now an issue with some namespaces that did not appear under “Publishing Settings - Namespaces”. When I try to register a new namespace ‘org.imixs.security’ I get the error:

In my profile I only see the namespace ‘org.imixs.workflow’.

But some of my projects are using other namespaces like:

‘org.imixs.security’ or ‘org.imixs.bpmn’.

My account settings show only one namespace:

Is it possible to migrate my old namespaces by myself or did I need admin support for this issue?

Thanks for help

Hi, Ralph! This issue is probably best resolved by reaching out to central-support@sonatype.com directly.

Yes, it seems to be a rare edge case during migration. But support team is helping me.
