Performing Language Transports 

Use

With the portal export function you can create pure language packages that contain only text and no objects. You can create transport packages for certain languages and import them into another portal installation.

The text of PCD objects (roles, worksets, pages, iViews) are read directly from the database of the PCD.

Prerequisites

You can only import a language package into a portal installation if the corresponding content objects exist in the PCD.

Procedure

       1.      Perform the steps described in Creating Transport Packages and Filling Transport Packages with Contents.

       2.      Once you have filled your package with content, select Language Transport on the Static Package Content screen using the dropdown list.

       3.      Select the languages to be exported and select Static Content again in the dropdown list in order to return to the previous screen.

The language export settings only take effect if the value of the Transport Mode property, under category Export Settings in the package Property Editor, is set to “textonly”. (The normal export always exports all languages.)

If you want to include all dependent objects, set the Resolve References property to Yes.

       4.      Choose Export. The export preview is displayed.

Add the string “language“ to the suggested name for the EPA archive so that you immediately see that the file only contains text.

       5.      Start the export as described in Performing an Export.

       6.      Perform the import as described in Importing EPA Archives.
