Webcenter Content: Export/Import of Content Server Configuration using Configuration Migration Utility (CMU)

Configuration Migration Utility (CMU) is a useful tool in webcenter content to migrate the wcc configuration from one environment to another. The CMU is installed by default when you installed the webcenter content server or if it is not installed you can install it from the advance component manager.
Configuration migration is a error prone process so while migrating if some components or configuration failed so just mark that component and later on create the configuration manually on to that server. Also it is recommended that if there is a lot of content server configuration so instead of creating one bundle you can go for multiple bundles to complete the configuration migration successful.

Export of Content Server Configuration:
  1. In the left navigation go to Administration -> Config Migration Admin --> configuration templates
  2. In the action menu, select Create New Template.
  3. Under child section, select the content server sections.
  4. Now under the content server sections, select the under child section what you want to migrate.
  5. Now let say we have to migrate content metadata, then click on the content metadata link under Items for section select items to be migrated or you can select all from the Action menu.
  6. From the action menu click save to save the configuration.
  7. In the Add Export Rule window give the name of the template and description of the template.
  8. Repeat step 5 to add more content migration items.
  9. After adding all the items, export the bundle from Action menu.
  10. Copy the Bundle from the server i.e. <CS path>/cmu/<Instance>/bundles/<bundle name>


Import of Content Server Configuration:
  1. In the left navigation go to Administration -> Config Migration Admin --> Upload Bundle
  2. Browse the bundle file, select forced overwrite and click on upload.
  3. In the Action menu click on Import.
