Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 are the only supported platforms for the CS Export Tool. This is because the CS Export Tool is itself a Content Engine client.
The CS Export Tool is a Content Engine COM client that can run on servers running Content Engine components including a stand-alone Content Engine Enterprise Manager server, and thus can only be run in a Windows platforms. For the Content Engine, the tool communicates to it using the Content Engine COM API and therefore should support any supported Content Engine database.
The CS Export Tool communicates directly with the CS database, bypassing the CS server API. The CS Export Tool supports both Microsoft SQL and Oracle as a back-end CS database.
NOTE If Oracle is used as the database engine, you will need to install the Oracle client software on the server where the CS Export Tool is installed.
The CS Export Tool will support Content Services version 5.2 and higher. It also will support Content Engine version 3.5 and higher.
