Hi Andrew,
data migration from legacy applications is something that many
customers will need at some point.
To address this need, we have started working on an import/export
frameworl, wich lives in org.nuxeo.ecm.core.api.io:
http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/nuxeo/browser/org.nuxeo.ecm.core/trunk/
nuxeo-core-api/src/main/java/org/nuxeo/ecm/core/api/io
It is pluggable, like everything else in Nuxeo. Currently only our
zip-based export file format is supported, but the whole idea is to
make it easier for people to write the plugins they need to interface
with their legacy systems.
We're going to do this kind of work for customers over the summer.
Of course, we welcome contributions of plugins that would be generic
enough to prove useful to a large class of users (think Documentum
import, Lotus Notes import, etc.).
And of course, it's by working on new import plugins that we can
improve the framework, so your ideas on this subject are very welcome.

Hello guys,
I am really new to the area of Document Mgmt so please excuse my
ignorance.
My client is using a commercial DocMgmt system and I am wondering
if it might
be possible to move away from it and towards nuxeo. One issue is
that they have
many, many documents in the other system. They would all have to be
moved over.
I am thinking of some sort of a bulk loading scheme.
This might involve writing a bit of code to extract all the docs
from the
existing system, something that is quite do-able since there is an
API we can use.
But then nuxeo would have to provide a bulk loader, I think...
Has anyone done anything like this before?
Regards,
Andrew Marlow
