migrate/move content for upgrade

[Per-Olof Widström-3]

Hi all,

there is a topic in the list which is similar to my question, but a to
move or copy the database is not an option in our case.

We need to move/copy content from one opencms installation to another.

The opencms installations is on the same machine, we have tried to use
opencms ability to synchronize to filesystem, but that did not work. We
have also copied the content to a module, and imported that module in
the new opencms installation.

What is the preferred way to do this?

Regards
pow

Hi Per-Olof,

If you want to move/copy content from one opencms installation to another
for one time only, you could do a database export and a database import.

Kind Regards,
Mario.

Copy the database and the web application folder to a new server. You
need to also copy the webapp folder, since it contains your
configuration files, which, among other things, contain the state of
your modules.

Other than that, nothing is needed. Import the DB under the same name,
copy your webapp folder under the same name as before into the
deployment folder of your servlet container, restart your servlet
container if necessary - finished.

Hi,

thanks for your input. In our special case we want to have some content
in our newly installed opencms, but we don't want it to be an exact copy
of the old installation. If we do an export and import we will have an
exact copy of the old installation with and we will lose what we have in
the new installation, or is there some way of doing an selective
database export?

Is there some other convenient method to export some selected content
and import it to another installation of opencms?

It would be nice if it could be done in some way that resembles how it
is done with modules.

Regards,
Per-Olof

Hi Per,
Mario was talking about the OpenCms database import/export in the Administration view. There you can select the resources you want to export.

Regards
Kai

I see. I have looked it up, and it looks as if it is what we need. We
will try that tomorrow.

Thank you Mario for your fast and correct answer, and thank you Kai for
explaining it a bit further.

Regards
Per-Olof
