dev to live deployment

[philc]

Hi,

I'm new to Alfresco development so apologies if this has been answered or documented elsewhere. 

Alfresco is running on Linux. I'm trying to automate as far as possible the process of copying web scripts, scripts and presentation templates from the development (test) server to the live server. I've been looking at using the Export/Import CLI but so far I've only been able to export the user data using

java -classpath $CLASSPATH org.alfresco.tools.Export -user admin -pwd <password> -store user://alfrescoUserStore -verbose users.acp

If using the Export/Import CLI is the right way to do it can you let me have an example of the command line to export a space under Company Home/Data Dictionary? I tried to use the Node Browser to get the 'store' or 'path' parameters without success.    Also has anyone used the http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Project_Tools to assist in this process or is there a better option for the deployment process? If you need more information let me know.

Thanks,

Phil

One alternative is to package your custom code as an AMP (which contains your templates, scripts, custom config etc.)     You then apply your AMP to your test system and test it.    Assuming it works you then have a package that you can apply to your live server.
