Import

[thomasberment]

Hi, I want to know if it possible to import many document with custom properties ?

Actually if I add a file .zip with many documents, I can't set my custom properties.

Have you an idea ?

Thx very much.

Yes.     ACP format is a zip file with metadata.

Ok, thank for your reply.

I searched in the wiki, but I don't understand the manipulation to create a .ACP file.

It doesn't exist a software or anything to create .ACP file ?

There is a Sourceforge project: http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/acpgenerator/

However, it is written in Visual Basic, and seems to have test data still embedded in it.

unless you're familiar with Java Software Foundation you should take a developer to do this

we imported over 7 000 000 documents ( and +1 000 000 spaces ) with metadata ( with multivalues ) and security on space and document level in as little as 10 days and are importing every montch more than 100 000 documents and spaces

it is custom developped based on the space requirements where a document should be placed but it was developped and tested in less than 10 days and deliverd as an amp file

it's a pitty that such a feature has to be redevelopped again and again ( Filenet & Documentum have them standard on board ! )
