Interface IExportImportService

All Known Subinterfaces:

IPrivateExportImportService

public interface IExportImportService

KM global service providing export/import functionality for KM content.

NOTE: This interface should be used by applications that need this functionality. It must NOT be implemented by other applications.

KM content that can be exported comprises:

• Resource content
• Resource properties (standard and custom)
• Resource ACLs

The workflow looks as follows:

• Export: KM content is exported from KM repositories to KMC content modules (files with extension .kmc)
• Transport: KMC content modules are transported to the target system (either manually or by means of CTS)
• Import: KM content contained in KMC content modules is imported to KM repositories of target system

Method Detail

createExportPackage

IExportPackage createExportPackage(String name,
                                   IResourceContext ctx)

Creates a new export package.

Parameters:

name - the name of the package

ctx - the resource context for authorization

Returns:

the newly created export package

createImportPackage

IImportPackage createImportPackage(File file,
                                   IResourceContext ctx)

Creates a new import package.

Parameters:

file - the file representing the import package

ctx - the resource context for authorization

the newly created import package

startExport

void startExport(IExportPackage ep,
                 IResourceContext ctx,
                 boolean async)
          throws TransportException

Exports the package ep to the filesystem.

Parameters:

ep - the transport package to be exported

ctx - the resource context for authorization

async - true if the export should be processed asynchronously in another thread, false otherwise

Throws:

TransportException - on error

retransmitExport

void retransmitExport(IExportPackage ep,
                      IResourceContext ctx,
