For migration, we have two CMS databases and as part of requirement we want to merge into single CMS database along with media. so through uSync and Converge packages it can be possible?
you can do that with uSync. and you have a couple of ways of doing it.
lets assume you have Site/Database A and Site/Database B
Install uSync + uSync.ContentEdition (so it will sync content and media as well)
uSync will write out all the settings,content and media to the /usync folder in the root of each site, you can then copy these folders around to other sites and import them to get everything you need* (you will need to also copy the actual media from the /media folder)
So: If you want to merge everything into database A :
Take the /usync & /media folders from Site B and copy it over to the SiteA/uSync folder - (you might also want to copy views, css, scripts depending on what you want to keep interms of UI).
run the import on site A everything should be brought across.
Personally - i Would create a new site. (site C):
Then i would merge both the uSync folder from Site A and the one from Site B and then import it.
Just because if you have things that clash / you don't want to merge you can have it on a clean new site, and if you decide you didn't want to do something you can always wipe site C and do it again.
*you can also do this with uSync.Complete - but its probibly overkill and its not free like uSync/uSync.ContentEdition
Thank you Kevin. yes I'm also thinning to create new instance and then import contents from the other websites through uSync/uSync.ContentEdition. appreciate and thank you once again.
The umbraco versions(7.3.8) currently we are using are pretty old for merging of Site/Database A and Site/Database B.
And with the help of uSync.ContentEdition.3.0.0(supported for Umbraco 7) I hope it will merge everything like all data type, document type(archetype) we also have the Vorto properties for multilingual capability.
so just wanted to confirm before merging we will go with the umbraco upgrade(version 8) and then we merge the sites. or we can still achieve this with 7.3.8. Please suggest.
