Content Model export from ACS Community v3.2 and import ACS Enterprise V6.2

[hansedens]

Can a custom content model be exported out of ACS Community 3.2, and imported into ACS Enterprise 6.2 just like that, or are there modifications needed. Or do I need to rebuild the custom content model in the ACS 6.2?

AFAIK, content models are xml documents which can simply be deployed/bootstrapped to any version of ACS. It would be backward compitable. I have done it from Alfresco 4.2 to 5.0, 5.0 to 5.2 and 5.2 to 6.1.

You may give it a try and see if you get any errors. Hopefully it should work without any issues.

@abhinavmishra14 , Alfresco Experts,  I have a query on Custom Content Model. 

When I am deploying my custom model through bootstrap deployment(custom content model XML files are placed into tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension) or dynamic approach(placing the custom model xml file in the content repository itself under Company Home/Data Dictionary/Models), the custom model are not showing up in Model Manager in Alfresco Share->Admin Tools.

I registered my custom model as below:-

<!-- Registration of my custom models -->
<bean id="mycustommodule.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
<property name="models">
<list>
<value>alfresco/module/${project.artifactId}/model/mycustommodel.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>

Can you please let me know if I am missing any step or how can I verify if my custom model got deployed successfully ?

Also, is there any DB query to verify if my custom model got deployed successfully?

FYI, I am using Alfresco Community edition 6.2. Thanks in advance !!

Hi @supriyoece,

Can I suggest that you start this as a separate thread? Your question is slightly different and may not get noticed by those who can answer it.
