QCM2Comyan
Transfer of assets from QCM into a Comyan database
QCM2Comyan is a Windows command line application which transfers assets from the QuarkContentManager( QCM) into a Comyan-database.
All assets contained in a QCM query will be written into a file system structure together with the meta data exported in XML format.
The defined query in QCM contains e.g. a complete issue of a newspaper, with all pages (in pdf format) and the related articles and pictures.
How it works:
If a query will be executed, QCM2Comyan will search in the QCM database for all relevant PDF pages.
Every single PDF will be exported together with the meta data (XML file) and a JPG preview. All articles and pictures related to this page is referenced in the XML file and exported as well(XML, Preview, HiRes).
QCM2Comyan exports data in the following steps:
- Export the page (XML plus PDF)
- Export article in a loop (XML plus article content in a second XML)
- Export pictures belonging to the articles (XML and HiRes file in existing format)
- Export pictures on the page, but not belonging to an article (XML and HiRes file in existing format)
The accompanying Comyan importer will delete / move the files after succesful import.
