Templating migration

Markandeyulu

Hi I have Teamsite installed on a Windows 2000 machine which is the development box.
I have all the dcr's , dct's tpl's built on the windows development box.
The directory structure on the windows box is

xyz/xyzpage/htdocs
xyz/xyzpage/templatedata/internet/directories....
the permissions on the development box are master level permissions for all the developers.

Now i need to migrate all the dcr's, dct's and the related generated content from the windows 2k box to a solaris box sitting at a differnt location...
the directory structure that i need to maintain in the production box is the following.
xyz/xyzpage/global/english/htdocs
xyz/xyzpage/global/english/templatedata/internet/directories...
I also need to maintain proper permissions in the solaris box.

Can you pls describe what i need to do the migration and how much complex it would be for me to do it.

I have tried doing it with a sample directory but since the permissions are differnt .... the dcr's dont open in the templating view but opens my text pad.
Do i need to set any extended attributes for all the dcr's or change permissions or ownership to all the dcr's ....

what is the best thing i need to do if i have to migrate the entire dcr into the production box without any problems.

Mind ...there are other branches in the teamsite in the production ....and I am migrating to only 1 branch out of the 10 existing branches.

Never done it, but it should be straightforward.

First look at the file properties of the DCRs and the generated files. There should be 4 extended attributes on the generated file, 1 on the DCR. One will corrrespond to the catagory & type of DCT.

You will need a scritps that reads the EAs, copy the file, and write the EAs to the new file. Since you are not changing the PT or the category/type template, the EAs should not need to change.


Permissions on the SOlaris box should be done via NFS or Samba (if you can). Then you can copy like it was a remote drive. Worst case, you zip the files (into a tar file) ftp it over and untar it in a WA. THen adjust permissions before you submit.

THis should be a 1-2 hour gig at most and not impact any other branches.
