I have some content in D2 Documentum. and i want to migrate all those content with meta-data in alfresco.
can any one help me.
how can i achieve this in alfresco.
Thanks in advance.
There are several tools available to handle Database/CMS migrations. If both repositories are CMIS compliant the problem becomes even easier to address. I read an interesting article about doing an Alfresco to Nuxeo migration using Apache's Chemistry and Camel offerings. Check it out.
One tool that makes migrating between ECMs very simple is Simflofy. They have connectors OOTB for CMIS compliant repositories and a very handy UI that allows easy mapping of properties. This particular tool is very fast as it was developed on a new technology stack that takes advantage multithreading and gives full audit support/reporting.
Full Disclosure: I work for a company that does several migrations a year using Simflofy.
It really depends on how many documents you need to export.
A simple answer can be: do a bulk export from Documentum and a bulk import in Alfresco.
There are several tools to export documents and metadata from Documentum. I used only a proprietary tool in my experience, but I do not think it will be difficult to find one.
For the import in Alfresco you can use the OOTB Bulk import
As you can see, you will probably need to write a small application to transform the export to the predefined format that the bulk import accepts.

I have seen several older posts talking about how to import a csv file into SQL using Logic Apps however i have not seen anything thats easy to implement and doesn't require 85+ steps to do.
Has anyone come up with an easy way? I've done this million times using SQL SSIS or other tools to automate but nothing in Logic Apps?
Please let me know if you have a simple solution.
As of now there is no out-of box connector or function in LogicApp which parses a CSV file .
You can always vote for new features feedback: Read a csv file and bulk load into Azure SQL table
Logic App Teams suggest us look at Azure Data Factory to assist with this.
For example: Copy data from Azure Blob storage to a SQL Database by using the Copy Data tool and the blog https://marczak.io/posts/azure-loading-csv-to-sql/ #Hury Shen provided in comment.
We can't import the csv file to into SQL directly, that's these posts look very complex and involve many steps. Just for Logic Apps, there isn't such an easy way for now.
I'm using a tool called Teamwork to manage my team's projects.
The have an online API that consists of JSON files that are accessible with authorisation
https://developer.teamwork.com/projects/introduction/welcome-to-the-teamwork-projects-api
I would like to be able to convert this online data to an sql db so i can create custom reports for my management.
I can't seem to find anything ready to do that.
I need a strategy to do this..
If you know how to program, this should be pretty straightforward.
In Python, for example, you could:
Come up with a SQL schema that maps to the JSON data objects you want to store. Create it in a database of your choice.
Use the Requests library to download the JSON resources, if you don't already have them on your system.
Convert each JSON resource to a python data structure using json.loads.
Connect to your database server using the appropriate Python library for your database. e.g., PyMySQL.
Iterate over the python data, inserting rows into the database as appropriate. This is essentially the JSON-to-Tables mapping from step 1 made procedural.
If you are not looking to do this in code, you should be able to use an open-source ETL tool to do this transformation. At LinkedIn a coworker of mine used to use Talend Data Integration for solid ETL work of a very similar nature (JSON to SQL). He was very fond of it and I respected his opinion, so I figured I should mention it, although I have zero experience of it myself.
I need a way to get all of the data out of an Ektron site in any format, that I can use to import it into a new CMS. To my eyes the database is completely obfuscated and I'm not finding any good resources. I would be happy for links, tips, videos, angels, magic lamps or companies that will do it on the cheep. Thanks in advance!
I do Ektron migrations of this nature regularly for my company and the problem with such migrations is that there really is no "standard". Every site has it's data structured quite differently and this will be especially true of ektron sites that rely on smartforms, or ones that have complex metadata or taxonomy relationships.
Your best bet will probably be to write a custom export tool to get your data into a format your target CMS can handle. If you are moving into another .net CMS, you might be well served by utilizing the ektron SOAP web services.
Two things that come to mind:
Perform database Backup (and Restore): "Backup" the Ektron database you are using and "Restore" it where you need it to go. Both of these actions can be performed using SQL
Server Management Studio with access to the filesystem on your
database server. This will restore ALL data EXACTLY as it was when
backed up. This is straight forward, but not flexible and I feel like this isn't
what you're looking for. If you want to treat "Ektron" like it's just any other database, then researching a more generic SQL Server Database "Dump" may be useful.
Perform content Export (and Import): Ektron provides a content export feature. This can be found in the Workarea under [Settings] > [Localization]. The purpose behind the export is to translate/localize content into another language and then import it back into the CMS, but... You aren't looking to localize your content as far as I can tell, but this export feature may still be of interest to you for whatever purpose you have in mind.
If we are migrating content from source Content Management System to Tridion, what is the best way of migrating customized metadata associated with the components(content) of source Content Management System into Tridion? Should we directly migrate it to the sql server or is there an option to migrate it in the form of some xml file, etc.?
Migrating directly into SQL Server is unsupported, and the entire system would be unsupported at that point, due to possible data consistency issues.
The most straightforward way is to read the data from the source system, and use the Tridion API to recreate the item.
If migrating metadata, some of the data would likely fit best into a taxonomy, which would mean you'd want to migrate the keywords / structure first, then tag the content as it came into Tridion.
You have a few options when migrating content into Tridion.
I can't understand from the above if you are talking about migrating to SQL server as an intermediate format, or directly into the Tridion database. Importing directly into the Tridion database is definitely not a supported solution, and could lead to unpredictable results.
You need to use the API, either the Core Service or the TOM.NET API (If you have Tridion 2011) or the old TOM API if not.
A popular approach is to export all content into an XML format that you can then process with a .NET application.
There's some good articles on migrating content into Tridion by Ryan Durkin here, and Nuno Linhares here.
As mention before, migrating directly into the Database is not an option if you are planning to use SDL Tridion as the final CMS.
Apart of the supported mechanism chosen for Migrate, play attention about how you are going to structure the metadata in the new CMS, as depending on the volume, structure, hierarchy, relation across metadata items the process can become complex.
Also play special attention at the Blueprint concept, as probably you can merge duplicated values from the old system into only one that is inherited.
Don't think only in how to put the metadata in the system, also how that Metadata will be used and maintained in the new CMS, in this case SDL Tridion
You can check also a recent post about Migration and plan Migration in general, in case adds some more information
Can we automate migrating to SDL Tridion?
hi every body
i was looking for a solution or a methodology to develop a sample
web site that utilizes a semantic database backe-end
i have used protege in previous steps and i have converted my OWL project to
mysql database backend successfully.
Any help would be appreciated
I did not see any such resource.
In general you will need a server to host your data. If your data is in relational databases you will need server like
D2R
or RDF server like
Sesame
and
Virtouso
These servers will allow accessing RDF data. Then you can use different techniques to embed this data in HTML to present it to user(Google it). There are RDF Browsers available as well.
There is a very good article on this topic here based on this publication.
