Content History (comparing all EDITIONS)

Env: TS 5.5.2 AIX

We have a need to get a list of all files that have been published in a branch for a given year. We do (thankfully) have all of our editions segmented by year, but I want a "comparison" of all editions in that year, with the current edition.

I'm considering a combination of using iwcmp and traversing the directory. Has anyone ever done something more efficient or anything like this in the past?

TIA

Yep! ;-) We are in the process of upgrading to 6.7.1. There was an "invasion" of another rival CMS (until their purchase by a major database company) that held the upgrade up a few years ago.

First, as the other post mentioned. Upgrade. Now.

What are you looking for ? Filelists ?

Jan 1 Edition 123 files a, b, c, changed ?

iwcmp should work, you can also use iwrlog.

I helped a project upgrade form 4.5 to 6.5 (ouch) and the edition by edition import would have taken weeks and liely terrabytes of data. So we tried both. Not a significant difference in performance, so it is up to which ever fits your needs better. iwrlog will provide a file list based report.
