Populate an object store automatically

The Content Engine automatically populates each new object store with a default set of components. You can extend this functionality by setting up a customized XML file to import user-defined components into new object stores. If desired, you can also associate scripts to run at various points during the import process.

Automatically populating an object store works differently than importing an XML file to an existing object store.

To successfully set up your system to populate new object stores with user-defined components, follow these overall steps:

  1. Prepare user-defined XML file for automatic import
  2. Prepare scripts you want to run at various points during the import process.
  3. Use the auto-import scripts feature to add customized components with associated scripts to run automatically during object store population.
  4. Test automatic object store population.
