Blueprint Developer Manual / Version 2304
Table Of Contents
Both serverimport and serverexport have a special handling built in
for the master and masterVersion properties. The export will store the
translation state of a derived content item and on import efforts are taken to reestablish a
comparable translation state.
For the concrete names of the master and masterVersion properties, the
SiteModel has to be provided to the tools, which is done via
Spring in the file
COREM_HOME/properties/corem/commandline-tools-context.xml (In CoreMedia Blueprint
this file is added in the cms-tools-application module).
Examples:
The examples assume that you export a content item and its master and import it afterwards into a
clean system. The table uses # (hash mark) to denote contents having the given
latest version number.
- Master (before)
The master version before export. none means that no master link is set.
- Version (before)
Value of the master version property of the derived content item before export. none means that no version is specified yet which actually marks derived content items as not being up to date with its master content item.
- State (before)
The translation state of the derived content item before export.
- Master (after)
The master version after import (actually always
#1).- Version (after)
- Value of the master version property of the derived content item after import.
- State (after)
The translation state of the derived content item after import.
| Master (before) | Version (before) | State (before) | Master (after) | Version (after) | State (after) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
#5
| 5
| up-to-date | #1
| 1
| up to date | The master and derived content item were up to date before export (derived content item is most recent localization of its master). Thus, after import the same state is set. |
#5
| 4
| not up-to-date | #1
|
| master version destroyed | The master and derived content item were not up to date before export. Thus, after import the value of the master version property is set to a special version number denoting that the derived content is not up-to-date. On API level this is regarded as if the referred master version got destroyed meanwhile. For the editor the content item will appear as being not up-to-date. |
#5
|
none | not translated yet | #1
|
none | not translated yet | Derived content item was never localized from its master. Thus, the same state applies after import. |
|
none | 5
| no master |
none |
| no master | Corrupted content: No special logic is applied. The overall approach for import and export is defensive thus if the state was invalid before, the fallback is to use the default behavior from import and export keeping the values as is. |
