Are there any tools available in TeamSite OOTB to migrate data from one DCT to anothe

Hello All,

Are there any tools available in TeamSite OOTB to migrate data from one DCT to another?

Assuming these DCTs have different structures and a field level mapping is defined in an XML file.

I hope I am being clear...

Common request, but no.

I usually write a Perl script to do that, you could do a PT or an XSLT.

Yes, you could develop a perl script which will access XML file to understand the structure of old and new DCT and accordingly will generate new DCRs.

If you could spend more time, this could be one time task and thereafter just couple of changes.

Thanks Nicholas

Best option would be to run a cron job which just reads out the data from source and put within the target as per the requirement.

It would be a one time job... but less painful in long run.

Cron jobs are repeating / scheduled jobs - if this is a one time thing just create a run the script - or - if you want to schedule it to run once - use 'at' instead of 'cron'. This of course assumes that the original question was being asked with regard to a UNIX implementation. For Windows it's generally the Windows Scheduler or WinAT that is used - but again, if it is a one-time thing just run the script and forget about scheduling.

Thanks Adam!! for getting me clear on concepts.
