WebDEV/AEM desktop APP not copying metadata

[umamaheswariy65]

Hi Team,

I am using the AEM6.3. I am trying to copy few asset folders from one server to another servers by using webdev and by using the AEM desktop API.

The assets are copied successfully but the associated metadata is not copying.

IS this expected behavior or Do I need to do some extra configurations to achieve this?

I have tried copying those Asset folders to my local and after that copy to destination server , that is also giving me the same results.

Please help me on this.

Thanks

Check this:- Assets Migration Guide

Migrate assets [Recommended] In this case, your assets are already populated with metadata and renditions are already generated. You can simply focus on moving assets from one instance to another.

There are two tools that are recommended for moving assets from one AEM instance to another:

• Vault Remote Copy, or vlt rcp, allows you to use vlt across a network. You can specify a source and destination directory and vlt downloads all repository data from one instance and loads it into the other. Vlt rcp is documented at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/filevault/rcp.html.
• Grabbit is an open-source content synchronization tool that was developed by Time Warner Cable for their AEM implementation. Because it uses continuous data streams, in comparison to vlt rcp, it has a lower latency and claims a speed improvement of two to ten times faster than vlt rcp. Grabbit also supports synchronization of delta content only, which allows it to sync changes after an initial migration pass has been completed.
