Export XML Documents from the IDOL Content component
You can send a DREEXPORTXML
action (case sensitive) from your Web browser to export XML documents from one or more Content databases (use DREEXPORTIDX
to export IDX documents):
http://ContentHost:indexPort/DREEXPORTIDX?FileName=fileName&Compress=True|False&DatabaseMatch=databaseCSV&BatchSize=size&MinDate=minDate&MaxDate=maxDate
where:
ContentHost
|
The IP address or name of the IDOL Content component machine. |
indexPort
|
The IDOL Content component index port (the value of IndexPort in the [Server] section of the IDOL Content component configuration file). |
fileName
|
The path to the location where you store the XML files to export. Double-byte file names are acceptable. The path must include a basic file name which Content postfixes with incremental numbers and an appropriate extension. If you do not specify a file name, Content exports the files to the current working directory (IDOLserver\IDOL\content ), and Content creates a file name in the format AUTN-XML-EXPORT-host-port-date-time-incrementalNumber.extension . |
Compress
|
Whether to compress the exported files. Set Compress to False if you do not want to compress the files. |
databaseCSV
|
One or more databases to export documents from. By default, Content exports from all databases. To specify multiple databases, separate them with plus symbols, commas, or spaces (there must be no space before or after plus symbols or commas). |
size
|
The maximum number of document sections to export to one IDX file. The default value is 100,000 sections. |
minDate
|
The earliest creation date or time that a document can have to export. |
maxDate
|
The latest creation date or time that a document can have to export. |
NOTE: For additional action parameters, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
Example 1:
http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREEXPORTXML?FileName=/export/data/backup/output&Compress=True&DatabaseMatch=News,Archive&BatchSize=1000&MinDate=01/01/2003&MaxDate=01/01/2004
In this example, Content exports all XML documents that have dates between 1 January 2003 and 1 January 2004. It exports from the News
and Archive
databases to a series of compressed files in the /export/data/backup
directory. Content names the files created in this directory output-0.xml.gz
, output-1.xml.gz
and so on.
Example 2:
http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREEXPORTXML?
In this example, Content exports all XML documents to a series of compressed files in the Content current working directory (IDOLserver\IDOL\content
). It names the files created in this directory AUTN-XML-EXPORT-12.04.2005-02.15.41-0.xml.gz
, AUTN-XML-EXPORT-12.04.2005-02.15.41-1.xml.gz
and so on.
NOTE: Content does not split multiple-section documents across chunks, so the specified BatchSize
is not used exactly if it splits a multiple-section document.
NOTE: You do not need to uncompress compressed XML files before you index them. For example, the action DREADD?output-0.xml.gz
indexes the output-0.xml.gz
file correctly without you having to uncompress the file first.
