Import custom types objects

Hi,Is there already and out of the box way to create objects in alfresco using a csv file data or from anyother source? I've seen something but it seems its only for importing user objects not for other types of obejcts.Regards,Xavi

You can create an ACP file and then import that, see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/ACP.

For doing really large imports you might consider the Bulk File System Import Tool (BFSIT), see http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-bulk-filesystem-import/

Honestly, depending on what you are doing, it might be easier just to write a script. For example, I really like to use Python for this purpose, but you could also use Java, Groovy, PHP, or .NET. Those languages all have corresponding CMIS clients available at Apache Chemistry that can be leveraged for that purpose.

Hi

If you want to import per-document metadata beyond name in a flexible way, an alternative is the Alfresco ETL Connector for Talend :
