    Moving Content From Ektron CMS to Umbraco

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    Hi everyone,

    I have a website that was built using Ektron CMS. I want to move the site to Umbraco but there are about 500+ pages already created. I was wondering if there's a way to programmatically moving all these contents or tools with similar feature instead of manually creating each page one by one.

    Thanks

    Hi Truyen

    How do you want to retrieve data from Ektron CMS?

    To move content to Umbraco you can use cmsimport package - https://our.umbraco.com/packages/developer-tools/cmsimport/

    But you have to serialize the content into XML

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks again for the reply. The data from Ektron CMS is currently stored in MSSQL.

    It seems CMSImport supports SQL Server as well as XML. I was wondering if we can do directly from database to database. If not, we'll have to look into serializing the content into XML like you suggests.

    Thanks
