Ha I tough you wanted to change the database used for XWiki. First thing is to decide where you want to put theses files in XWiki and to define a conversion rule you can then implements in a script. You have several solution: * use groovy inside a XWiki page since that's the easiest way to use XWiki API to import and store the attachments in your wiki * if you are not very confident with groovy (or java since groovy is very close to java) you can also use the REST (platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI) or XMLRPC (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC) or WebDAV (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/WebDAV) interfaces provided by XWiki to upload the attachments in a whatever script/program you know better On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 4:04 PM, Guillaume Lerouge <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Françoise,
in order to do this, you would need to export all attachments from you Oracle DB and store them into a ZIP file for instance. Then you would need to write a script that reads the contents of the ZIP file, creates a XWiki document for each of them and attaches the file to the document.
I've seen such scripts in action, but unfortunately I cannot find it on http://extensions.xwiki.org . If you're not a developer, they might be a bit tough to create from scratch.

Whatever the way you store the attachment they are supposed to be part of the exported xar.

Hello,
My company wants to migrate the content of an Oracle database into XWiki. This database contains files (xls, doc, rtf etc...) stored in BLOB which are linked with text documents. In order to migrate the text documents, I use the import in Xar format and it's OK, the problem is the migration of the files. In my Wiki I chose the option to store the attached files outside the database. I expected to put "metadatas attachment" in the xml files and simply copy my files in the right directory but it doesn't work. Is it a wrong idea ? What's the best way to do it ? Thank you for help.
