Using Content Engine's XML-based object import and export functionality you can export objects from one object store and import them into another. Specifically, you can:
Basic import and export functionality consists of: 1) exporting data from the source object, 2) mapping of system-specific data from the source to the destination, and 3) importing the data to the destination object.
The XML files created during the export process represent the current state of the object being exported. On import, the XML-based descriptions of objects and content are interpreted and used to generate objects that are then added to the object store. Exported files can be viewed using any XML viewer, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
XML specifies structure as well as content. Based on the tags specified in the XML schema and used in the IBM FileNet P8 APIs, you can examine and interpret the XML file of an object exported from Content Engine
To create XML, such as for use with automatic object store population, administrators can use any editor that produces clean, unembellished XML code without extraneous tags. See Populate an object store automatically for more information.
