Deploying content between networks
First Claim
1. A method for deploying content from a source to a destination, the method comprising:
- populating during a first deployment mode an export table with references to;
one or more content items to be deployed, children, if any, of the one or more content items, and dependencies of the one or more content items and children;
getting content items from a content database corresponding to the references stored in the export table; and
formatting data of the content items.

Abstract
A system to deploy content from one network to another includes an export search component. During an export process, a level-based scan of a content database is performed to efficiently find children and dependencies of the object(s) to be deployed. An export object table is created and filled with the children and dependencies found in the level-based scan. The export object table is ordered based on object type so that for each object being exported, its parent and its dependencies will be exported before the object itself is exported. The system may selectively perform incremental deployments in which only objects that have changed since their last deployment will be exported. Objects have identifiers and the system maintains a change log using the object identifiers, which allows the system to determine whether an object should be included in the incremental deployment.

11. A method for importing content from a source to a destination, the method comprising:
-
receiving a file from the source and shredding the received file into portions corresponding to content items;
transforming the portions of the received file into content items to be imported into the destination. determining, for each content item, whether the content item already exists in the destination; and
selectively creating a content item in the destination in response to a determination that the content item did not already exist in the destination. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
