What is the most efficient way to copy a publication, its objects and their generated language layers?

Ann Jensen

Hi,

Is there a procedure that I can follow to create a copy (with new GUIDs) of all the objects in a publication including their requested language layers?

This is to resolve a problem where we have publications that have hundreds of objects with up to 30 associated language layers when object in Released status.

Currently I use Publication Report in Content Manager to Export the Publication. This doesn't seem to export any metadata about requested language layers. I then use Content Importer to import it, however this only exports the base language layer i.e. en-US. I also have to delete the generated MET file from export and then use a custom XSL file to generate new metadata files.

Am I missing any other approaches that I can explore for satisfying my requirements?

Thanks,

Ann

  • I haven't tried this, but I think it might work. Export each of the languages and merge them into the same folder. Create new identifiers for are all of the files and update links to use the new identifiers. Add required metadata, set all the versions to 1 and the status to an initial status. Then use content importer to import the files without conversion.
