9.x - trunk: Can NOT export fields nor synchronize a big tracker

Smaller trackers seem to be fine with exporting tracker fields.
But with this one, no content is shown in the popup box where the exported fields should be shown.
Somehow I managed to replicate this issue in my localhost in a Tiki 11.x, and I see this error message then:

Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
--------------------------------
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server...

This seems to be related to these two apache directives, that I didn't manage to change in my localhost (or at least, the error didn't dissapear):

1. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestline
2. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize

I tried also exporting the whole tracker, fields and data through the tracker synchronization feature (), but After I click at the button to "search the trackers to clone" (or similar), at teh remote tracker duplication step, then I get this fatal error page:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception' with message 'Read timed out after 10 seconds' in /path/lib/core/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php:511 Stack trace: #0 /path/lib/core/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php(329): Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket->_checkSocketReadTimeout() #1 /path/lib/core/Zend/Http/Client.php(1075): Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket->read() #2 /path/lib/core/Services/RemoteController.php(57): Zend_Http_Client->request('POST') #3 /path/lib/core/Services/RemoteController.php(26): Services_RemoteController->getJson('list_trackers', Array) #4 /path/lib/core/Services/Tracker/SyncController.php(266): Services_RemoteController->__call('list_trackers', Array) #5 /path/lib/core/Services/Tracker/SyncController.php(266): Services_RemoteController->list_trackers() #6 /path/lib/core/Services/Tracker/SyncController.php(280): Services_Tracker_SyncController->getRemoteTrackerList('http://ueb.vhir...') #7 /path/lib/core/Services in /path/lib/core/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php on line 511

Any help to get the tracker exported, by any means, to another Tiki install?

How about exporting the tracker to a profile using latest 12.x using:

php console.php profile:export:init trackerexport
php console.php profile:export:tracker x
php console.php profile:export:finalize

the yaml will be deposited in <tikiroot>/profiles/trackerexport.yml

it can be installed in another server: php console.php profile:apply trackerexport file://profiles

Are you also trying to to sync the data? if so, then you have to try make the trackersync feature. lp wrote that for one of our (CR) projects but we never used it in production (beyond testing).

UPDATE: Yes, Nelson, I did a workaround like that one through the tiki interface (I exported the tracker in yaml), created a profiles.tiki.org page, and applied that profile in the tiki 9 lts site.

What you say might work (I didn't try), but I wish there was an easier way for tiki power users (without ssh access) to export medium sized trackers, also, like the one reported here.
