Repository import
The repository importer helps administrators import data from the file system.
Initial import (imports standard folders and documents from your OpenKM server).
Import from previous OpenKM export.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Filesystem path |
Server import path. |
|
Repository path |
The repository destination path. Common values:
|
|
Metadata |
When enabled, the importer assumes the metadata information (.okm files) is present. |
|
History |
When enabled, the importer assumes all versions of the document are present. More information about the document versions format is available at Repository export. |
|
Restore UUIDs |
When enabled, the importer will keep the same node UUID. When an application is integrated with third-party software, usually the third-party software stores the node's UUID in its own database as the main reference. These references should not be lost; that's why in these scenarios it is necessary to keep the UUIDs. |
|
Especially when importing from a previous OpenKM export, you must use the same import options that were chosen during exporting; otherwise the import will fail.
