Content Engine migration of content from one Centera device to another

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to move P8 Content Engine (CE) content from one Centera Fixed Content Device to another Centera device?

Cause

Replacing a Centera device with a new Centera device.

Answer

The CE stores the Centera clip-id for a document in the DocVersion table row. However, the clip-id is not accessible via the CE API. Each CE Document normally has a single clip-id, and each content element of the document is stored as a tag within the clip (a document can have multiple clip-ids if retention on the content stored on Centera has been extended [feature added in P8 CPE 5.2 and does not apply to 4.5]).

Use the CE moveContent API for each document stored on Centera

Note: The CE will not allow you to move content that is under fixed device retention, so this will not work if the Centera content is under retention.
