Extract Content + Metadata from Alfrecso

[amittongaonkar]

Dear All,

I have an Alfreasco system implemented. I want to export the Content Files along with the their Metadata details. Can someone suggest me in detail for the below options that I am trying to figure out?
Option 1: Is there any tool that Alfresco has to export the Content along with the Metadata? (If yes, whats that?)
Option 2: If I want to develop the application in .Net, how should I start the development? What are the APIs offered? Can someone guide me in-detail? What all .dlls do I need to refer to?

I request for your kind help on the points above. Also, suggest me the best approach.

Thanks,
Amit

For exporting content, one option is to use ACP (Alfresco Content Package) files, see http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/tuh-admin-export.html

Regarding .NET, you might take a look at the <a href="http://chemistry.apache.org/dotnet/dotcmis.html">DotCMIS</a> library available at Apache Chemistry.

I read about "Metadata Extractor in Alfresco". Is this going to help me? http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/index.jsp
