34.10 Export/Import of data (ArchivistaDMS)

The utility program avimpexport2.pl can be used to export and import data between different ArchivistaDMS archives. To export a range of documents from the database, open a terminal (Mate terminal) on the Archivista desktop. A console window appears. Now switch to the Administrator (root) level with su -. If you have entered the correct root password, the text color in the window will change from green/blue to black. Now start the program as follows

cd /home/cvs/archivista/jobs
perl avimpexport2.pl exportdb2 archivold /home/data/expo 7150-7200

With the above example, you export the documents from 7150-7200 from the archivista database. You can import the data with the same utility (into another database):

cd /home/cvs/archivista/jobs
perl avimpexport2.pl importdb2 archivnew /home/data/expo

This imports the data from the /home/data/expo folder into the archivneu database.

Image tip Please ensure that there is enough space for both the export and import process.
