Hi Barra,

Most customers restore their Production database to staging or in turn development to reproduce issues. I surely hope that is the direction of the migration you are looking for; and that you are not creating "content" on a development environment to then move it to Production :-)

Sure the API can handle your scenarios. I know of implementations to port content from Production to Staging, they all however take some shortcut (e.g. releasing publications or not, initial workflow states on content objects, folder security, dita architecture, etc), so none of these implementations is flawless.

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. Yes we do run full restores from prod to stage/dev but we can also see a case for something more subtle. Other than the API, are there any plans to provide this functionality as feature for example through Content Importer? 

Barra

Not aware of any plans for that kind of functionality. As indicated above, to make this a product feature you cannot really take too many short cuts. Something you can do if you know your own security paradigm, metadata setup, dita architecture and more...
