proteon.ExporterImporter

A tool to import proteon.SQLExporter Export files

Project Description

Introduction

This product makes possible to import proteon.SQLExporter files, these are compressed files that contain a full or partial site export in the form of a sqlite database, for metadata, and a collection of files, for binary content.

Purpose

The original goal was to be able to migrate content from an old Plone2 site so the latest available version, avoiding the cumbersome process of migrating and updating products.

It can also be useful to copy parts of a site into another one.

Requirements and extra info.

The importer requires the same Products to be installed in both sites (export and import). If the content type of an object to be imported is not available on the destination site it will be silently ignored.

It is not possible, in some content type cases, to create them straight forward with the current method so if you find problems importing a certain content type please let us know and we will try to add the required exception.

Install

[buildout]
...
eggs =
    ...

Usage

• put the results of exports (untared) on $INSTANCE/var/sql_exporter
