Selective Assets Movement from Production to Lower environment

[maheshs78145042]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I need to move 2600 assets from Production to lower environment  and after running some test I need to export these assets back to production. These assets are scattered in different sub-folders across dam. Please could you suggest some way to achieve this. I am using Aem 6.4.8.

Thanks,

Mahesh

You can use the Asset Ingestor or URL Asset Importer utility of ACS commons package.

you can create a package using filter, the list you can extract from prod and create a package in local with the filter of all the assets file, once done upload a package in prod and build. there you will have  the package and upload in lower env, once you are done with lower env changes then again build and upload & install in PROD.

Just make sure you press on the "BUILD" button and not "INSTALL" on prod 🙂

Hi Arun,

You can do this programmatically to save the effort.

1. Create a scheduler that you can run on your production author environment.

2. Create a query to run on the path specified to get your list of assets.

3. With the list of assets create a package programmatically using java code:

Packager Service:

packagerService.createPackage(packageName, groupName, filters, request);

Refer to an example here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Kiran Vedantam.
