How to Transport KM Objects

This Blog describes the how to transport KM objects. 
When we transport roles, workset, Pages, iviews we create .epa file but in case of KM we create .kmc file at source system and we need to import this to destination system.
To transport  KM files or folder from our source system to destination system. then we login to the Source System and follow the below steps:

Export Steps:

1. Login to Source Portal and Go to Content Administration-> KM content -> Export-> Pending Exports(Left Navigation)

          

2. Click on New Transport Package and give the transport name as in below pic I have given Test

    

3. Now select the path for your file or Folder and finally click ok. If you need to select files/doc at different- different folder location then use Path 2, Path 3 ….n.

4. Click save button to save the new transport request
5. Now we need click on context menu of created Transport package and select Start Export as shown below

6. Next window will show the file details. If you have configured CTS then switch to CTS window

  
   7. After the import is started, download the package through Archived Exports link from left navigation,
       If CTS is being used then this step is not required.

Import Steps:

  1.  Login to Destination portal and navigate to Content Administration-> KM content -> Imports->Package upload.

   2. Select the package file which you have downloaded and click on upload.
