Overview
Tzunami Documentum Exporter enables migrating Documentum content into SharePoint Microsoft Office 365, Server 2010/SharePoint Foundation 2010 (SPS2010/SPF2010), Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007/Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (MOSS/WSS3.0), or Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003/Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 (SPS2003/WSS2.0) using Tzunami Deployer.
To load Documentum content into Tzunami Deployer, you must first extract the content, using Tzunami Documentum Exporter, into TDX (Tzunami Deployer Export) and STDX (Separate Tzunami Deployer Export) files. You can then load this TDX file into a Deployer project.
When working with Tzunami Deployer on several machines, you can run an export on one machine and load the exported data on another. Tzunami Documentum Exporter is distributed as an external tool from Tzunami Deployer. |
Supported Types
The following items are exported from Documentum:
• Cabinets (General and Personal)
• Folders
• Documents (including custom types)
• Virtual Documents

• Browse
• Read
• Relate
• Note
• Version
• Write
• Delete
• Change State
• Change Permission
• Change Ownership

Exporting from Documentum
The Tzunami Documentum Exporter enables you to export Documentum content to a TDX file.
When exporting, keep the following in mind: Export in small chunks: When exporting from your source system, perform the export in small chunks of about 40K-50K files each that have a common business logic or some other logic. Ensure consistency: Make sure that the content of the different exports does not overlap and that, while exporting, no changes are made to the source data. |
To export to a TDX file:
1. In Tzunami Deployer, Right-Click in the Documentum tab source store area and select Export Documentum to TDX .
Or Click Start > All Programs > Tzunami > Tzunami Documentum Exporter. The Welcome screen of the Export Wizard appears.

If multiple conditions are applied, only items that match all conditions are exported. |

Command-line Export
Tzunami Exporter for Documentum provides ability to run export sessions non-interactively using command line instructions. This allows administrators to plan and schedule long running migration jobs through scripts, batch files and schedulers according to needs and organizational timetables. To run the exporter in batch mode you will need exporter specification file explained in the ‘Choose Destination Folder’ step of the export wizard. The file contains all the export option details including:
• Source ECM connectivity information (Server Address, User Name, Password etc.)
• Items to export
• Destination and Log Folder
• Filter
• Exporter specific options
This file can be edited to suit your needs however the XML schema of the file should not be altered. It is recommended that you generate a sample specifications file in the Destination Folder Screen selection step of the export wizard and use it as a template to create your own specification file.
Once the specification file is ready, you can run the exporter from command line using command:
TzunamiExporter.exe [-r <ResultFile >] -s <ExportSpecificationsFile >
-r Outputs export results into an XML file [Optional]
-s XML file containing export specifications
Based on your needs you can create number of specification files and use them to run multiple export sessions as batch commands.
You will need to provide absolute path for TzunamiExporter.exe and ExportSpecificationsFile in the command if you are not running from the exporter installation directory. |
In Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 environment, if USG (Universal Security Group) is enabled, Users with low privileges sometimes cannot export ECM contents. To export contents using command line, User must run with elevated or administrative privileges.
To export contents with elevated or administrative privileges, you can run the exporter from command line using command:
RUNAS /trustlevel:"Unrestricted" "<ExporterInstallationDirectory>\TzunamiExporter.exe –s \"<Spec file path>\Specfilename.xml \" "
For example: RUNAS /trustlevel:"Unrestricted" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tzunami\Deployer 2.7\Exporters\Documentum\TzunamiExporter.exe -s \"D:\Spec Files\specs1.xml\" "
