Hi guys... When I export and Import Livelink v 10 xml files it cann't copy permisions and categories.I used for it url method....Can anybody help me for it?
 
Agil,
You can check the definition of the function to see if those properties are supported, if they are not, then you will either have to add them yourself or buy a component from a firm that offers those enhanced options.

Greg Griffiths thanks for answer....Could you say me which function checked to me? I know that our company bought all component for this product.I am new in ECM.that is my question can be easy or silly questions for you...sorry for this.
 
What Greg was saying is when you do func=xmlexport all the other params are documented in code and its documentation.
No qn is silly so don't be afraid to ask.xmlexport is designed to move data in small batches.It never had support to create permission sets.what it was doing and you may have mistakenly understood is
Finds the node to be exported
Did user ask for metadata then put category info
Did user ask for permissions info then put permission info.
and on and on like that

If you then bring it to another livelink and try to import it it will fail on all lines
that are inconsistent.If the category dataid is not present,if the user and group is not present
that way.So usually before we migrate data we build all the "building blocks" in the target system.
Common sensically that would be users & groups,Categories,classifications.I have written a poor mans guide to
how to do a small system copy in communities.opentext.com although it may not work in a CS10
scenario


Now if you were exporting that not to be used in another livelink you will be fine.
In CS10 and older there are changes in xmlexport and will not work just like that
because of a new "GUID" field that CS10 expects.If you can fake GUID's
then it may actually work.Sorry I did not test it it was suggested to me by a friend.



Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Check out which is an add on to the XML Export someone wrote a while ago to add in the security, it may provide a starter if you have confirmed, from the docs and the code, that what you need is not passed by default.
