Bulk-Import in Alfresco 6.1

apiening — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 22:46:03 GMT

I've successfully installed the Alfresco Bulk Export Tool from https://github.com/vprince1/alfresco-bulk-export/ in Alfresco 5.1 and did a test export.

I have trouble finding a solution to import the data (including the metadata from the XML files) into Alfresco 6.1 since https://github.com/pmonks/alfresco-bulk-import does not seem to support Alfresco 6.1.

What options are there currently?

Hi,

A version of Bulk import is included in Alfresco out of the box. Just inspect Alfresco webscripts page and you will see a family for Bulk import.

The project you mentioned provides, let's say a 2.0 version of Bulk Import, with some new features as the possibility of stopping a bulk job, a dry run, a better monitoring status page, some webscripts to delete large folders and to inspect data dictionary (that they are quite useful indeed).

Kind regards.

I'm shure you connect exported data from host to alfresco docker container.

Thank you very much, I wasn't aware of the included version.

It worked fine for me.

Yes, I added another volume entry so that my import/export folder was accessable from within the docker container.
