The following features of content can be exported/imported/exported:

  • Links
  • A subset of content elements (see the list below for those that are not supported)
  • Personalizations — if the exact same personalization definition exists in the channel into which you are importing, then the personalization will be imported and applied to the same content/content element. If not, the content will still be imported but the personalization(s) will be lost.
  • Interactive Form element — if the Interactive Form that the element refers to has also been imported, then the Interactive Form element will be imported intact. If the Interactive Form has not been imported, then the imported Interactive Form element will be empty.
  • Tags — if a tag does not exist in the channel into which you are importing, you have the option of creating it.
  • Thesaurus relations between tags — Beginning in XperienCentral version R41, thesaurus relations between tags are maintained during the export/import process.
  • Presentation variants — if a presentation variant does not exist in the channel into which you are importing, you have the option of creating it.

Description

Ajax Refresh RateSpecifies, in milliseconds, how often to refresh the Ajax progress bar. Setting this to a lower setting may cause lock contention in the JCR and thereby reduce performance for jobs that write intensively to the JCR. 
Target DirectorySpecifies the local directory where the log history files are written.
Maximum number of log entries to keepSpecifies the maximum number of log entries to keep. Once the limit is reached, the first log entries will be overwritten and eventually all entries will be overwritten in looping fashion.
