Migrate Files from an External Content Management System

Content can be migrated from any external content management system to Oracle Content Management using the CSV-based migration approach. Content needs to be exported and made available in a file system along with the relevant metadata in CSV format.

The following procedure assumes you've already mapped your source data structure and security to Oracle Content Management asset features, created your Oracle Content Management instance, and created the asset structure in Oracle Content Management.

To migrate files from an external content management system, perform the following steps:

  1. Export the source content to a common file system using an export tool or bulk download. Oracle Consulting or a partner can help with this.
  2. Upload the source files to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure object storage bucket.
  3. Export source file metadata to CSV. You'll send this metadata file with your migration service request so that the source content can be properly mapped to the target environment.
  4. Submit a file migration service request, keeping up with any updates to the service request, and providing information to Oracle Support and the migration team as necessary. Oracle Support will work with you and the migration team to gather additional required details, finalize a migration date, and execute the migration.
