Request URI: /path/to/some/resource/fcr:export
Methods: GET, POST
Exporting large trees of resources may fail because of memory limitations. Exporting 250,000 simple objects (only the system-defined properties) was successful and resulted in a 400MB export file, but exporting larger sets of resources failed. To work around this limitation, you can segment your repository (for example, into several top-level directories each containing 250,000 or fewer resources) and export each top-level directory as a separate export file.
Objects are exported and imported relative to the request URI path given. By default, the exported jcr/xml won't contain any subtrees and binary contents.
E.g., if you run:
curl "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/resource/fcr:export" > export.xml curl -X POST --data-binary "@export.xml" "http://localhost:8080/rest/somewhere/else"
The resource with no subtree and binary content will be imported to http://localhost:8080/rest/somewhere/else/resource.
GET fcr:export Retrieve serialized form of a resource. By default, no subtree and binary content will be exported
Request Headers:
FORMAT Export formats; the exact formats available depend on the repository configuration.
Parameters:
recurse: To export subtree with its value set to true. For example, recurse=true. Default is false.
skipBinary: To export binary content with its value set to false. For example, skipBinary=false. Default is true.
The export formats that are available are shown as properties on resources, e.g. this resource exports jcr/xml:
<> <http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/rest-api#exportsAs> <./fcr:export?format=jcr/xml> ;
Example:
To export a resource with no subtree and no binary content:
curl "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/some/resource/fcr:export"
To export a resource with subtree and binary content:
curl "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/some/resource/fcr:export?recurse=true&skipBinary=false"
