Hi Everyone,
Anyone, could you please provide a solution for how to take the backup entire cabinet from the Documentum Administrator before going to delete the cabinet from the repository?
Thanks,
Rajkumar
Do you need metadata as well? How much content the Cabinet holds? Would you like to store this Data into a dedicated(archive) cabinet in Docbase? or Just export to Local shared drive?
You can always use Export Option in DA, the time it takes to export depends on the volume.
I need to export the entire cabinet into a local shared drive only. In DA if I selected the cabinet and went to the file tab the export option was disabled. But here I logged in with system administrator superuser privileges. Please let me know how to enable the export option. please provide the solution with step by step.
If there is a huge volume it might throw timed-out error and it will stop export, if you try to export from DA. Better get the count and size initially and proceed accordingly. if there are few thousands you can use DQ man tool and run between certain days and get them export as smaller chunks. if you want to export all together better go with the script where it will export Metadata to CSV and Documents to shared location.
Note : Also you need to keep in mind that there will be versions and sometimes you might get documents with same names, they will get overwritten with query exports. I suggest you go with a script if you need a perfect extraction.
@Pavan_Kumar_1 Can you provide the steps to export in DQman and a sample of the script? Thank you
