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

Hi Amit,

What will be your target system?

TGS has an open source tool called openMigrate which you can use to migrate the content and metadata.
Here is the link:
http://www.tsgrp.com/Open_Source/OpenMigrate/open-migrate.jsp

There is an another GUI based product called Migration Center but the free version will only allow you to process 5,000 documents
here is the link:

Thanks

Hi Amit,

I think neither TSG's openMigrator nor Migration-Center support direct migration from Alfresco to Livelink.

Either you can build your own utility to do that or first export content and metadata from Alfresco and then load it in to Livelink.

What version of Livelink server are you running, 9.7 or 10.

Thanks
Sandeep

Thanks again Sandeep.
I have CS10. I am going to build my own .NET utility to do this job. Do you think CMIS is the right option which I have chosen to do that? I found that Web services are not recommended for this. Could you pls share your thoughts on this?

Hi, we have created an Alfresco Cloud adapter for our MOVE product which could be adapted to Alfresco.  Can we help you with your migration?
