      Summary

      Enterprise customers or those with very large spaces are unable to move large page trees successfully.

      This is using the built-in "move" function. This doesn't involve the copy page tree plugin at all.

      The customer who experienced this is on 5.8.18. I also tested on 5.9.14 and was able to reproduce the issue in my lab.

      Environment

      • Confluence 5.8.18 through 6.6.4
      • I have attached an xml-backup from my 5.9.14 test instance

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create fresh instance
      2. Create test space
      3. Populate test space with ~60,000 pages
      4. Attempt to move entire page tree somewhere
        • Click the ... > Move > select new parent page > Move
      5. Move fails after 3 minutes exactly

      Expected Results

      Page tree is moved successfully

      Actual Results

      Page tree move fails with error

      The following error(s) occurred:
      * Move failed. There was a problem contacting the server. 
      

      The below message is thrown in the atlassian-confluence.log file:

      Workaround

      Possibly split the large page tree into several smaller trees, perhaps move them into their own space.

      With the same customer who experienced this and my test environment, smaller page tree moves were not an issue.
