Appendix H: Export/import scripts

Project Portal includes a number of command line scripts that can be used to export and import entire workspaces. The scripts transfer the data using the file formats described in Export/import file types.

Note    The scripts do not support minor versions and their files.

The process for using the scripts is:

1. Export the source workspace using exporter.pm as described in Exporter.pm. This results in an archive file that contains the workspace data.
2. If necessary, convert the structure file from one format to another using kronocsv.pm as described in Kronocsv.pm.
3. Import the archive file using importer.pm as described in Importer.pm.
4. If necessary, modify the properties of the new workspace.
5. Import documents and their metadata using dataimport.pm as described in Dataimport.pm.

Each of the scripts are described in the following topics.
