Environment

Content Manager 10.1 - 24.x IDOL OEM
 

Situation

There are two (2) methods for moving data between CM IDOL engines using standard IDOL commands:

1.    Indirect data transfer – Performing an Export process followed by an Ingest process (using IDOL’s DREEXPORTIDX and DREADD actions)
2.    Direct data transfer – Instructing IDOL to move data directly from one content engine to another in a single step (using IDOL’s DREEXPORTREMOTE action)
In this article only Indirect data transfer is discussed. This method is considered simpler and less error-prone: It avoids potential complications with the transfer process caused by factors such as network permissions and network connectivity issues.

The Direct transfer method is discussed in a separate article:  “Moving Index Data to another IDOL (OEM) Content Engine – Direct Transfer method.”
