Export and Import Content with Categories

Hello,

I'm tring to export some content and it's respective categories using CWS, but I can't seem to find any way to do this. I've already checked the generated XML and I can confirm that the categories are exported but when I try to import the same XML in another Content Server i don't get the desired effect.

...  <dependents>    <NodesExported count='1' nodes='{5072}'/>    <CategoriesApplied>      <CategoryApplied count='1' id='4742' nodes='{5072}' versionnum='1'/>    </CategoriesApplied>    ...  </dependents>...  <category defguid='1C7DB9BE-09C4-0350-E053-060011AC4B68' defid='4742' disableInheritance='false' name='My Category' versionguid='1C7DB9BE-09C5-0350-E053-060011AC4B68' versionid='1'>    <AttributeSet attid='1' name='My Category'>      <Attribute attid='2' name='check this' type='5'>true</Attribute>    </AttributeSet>  </category>...

Here is what I've done so far.

Export and Import a content with all available meta-data.
Explicitly import the category before importing the actual content. Didn't work although both of them were created they were not associated.
Export the content using different scopes. As expected it did nothing regarding the categories.

Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong?

I really think that it’s just the way how XML Import/Export works currently in Content Server.

The XML engine does not maintain theexact same DataID for your category while it’s being imported from another environment. It creates a brand new one as per the current system. So when it starts applying to your documents, your XML now has a different DataID from the ones that just got created and is now present in the system.

Make sense?

Hi,

Before importing the xml, replace the object id of respective categories(as per the destination enivronment) in the exported xml. Now you will get the folders along with categories.

If you are on CS 10.5 you can use the transport system instead.

Thank you all so much for your replies!

I've tested and confirmed that the solution proposed by Raju works. The attributes I had to change were the id (from CategoryApplied tag) and the defid (from category tag).

Best Regards
