Content Porter

Content Porter ensures a structured quality-control process for all online content. Content Porter allows you to transfer any type of content managed in Content Manager between different environments.

Description

Transfer content

Since Content Porter allows you to coordinate different SDL Tridion R5 systems, you can develop content and Web site functionality apart from the live site, and then transfer this content to the live environment. This allows you to create and use business processes that involve more than one R5 environment.

Port content

Many organizations store existing content in departmental databases, spreadsheets or other types of data storage. Using Content Porter, you can easily migrate this content to Content Manager and use R5 as a publishing engine for this content. Content Porter can connect to any OLEDB or ODBC data store and provides access to a wide range of different data sources.

Benefits

Structured Web development processes

Content Porter provides the flexibility you need to integrate different environments. Content Porter allows you to transfer content across different SDL Tridion R5 environments used for quality assurance such as development, testing, acceptance and production. As a result, you can ensure that the published Web site is robust and offers visitors the high-performance interactivity they have come to expect.

Easy-to-use wizard interface

Content Porter is a Windows client that provides an intuitive wizard user interface. Those responsible for transferring content can easily select fields from a data source and map these fields to specific XML fields. You can also save frequently used configurations within a configuration file and run the Content Porter in a command line.
