Repository import

The Repository Import feature helps administrators import data from the file system into the OpenKM repository. It supports:

Tip

Initial import (import standard folders and documents from your OpenKM server).

Import from a previous OpenKM export.

Field	Description
Filesystem path	Server import path.
Repository path	The repository destination path. Common values: - /okm:root - /okm:templates - /okm:personal - /okm:mail
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, the third-party software usually 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 preserve the UUIDs.

Caution

Especially when importing from a previous OpenKM export, you must use the same import options that were chosen during export; otherwise, the import will fail.
