Import from other SaaS sytems

Contents

Purpose

If you like to migrate your content from other systems then chances are that the bulk import function can assist you doing so. All clips and most of the meta data you had hosted in the other system will be automatically transferred into your INTERDUBS segment.

Implementation

INTERDUBS' bulk import behaves like a web web browser to the other system. It uses to proxy hosts so that there is no discernible pattern in the access to the system you like to migrate from. The crawl and export of your data will happen at a slow pace so that no harm is caused in your old hosting environment.

Paramters

In order to start a batch import job you enter the following parameters:

user name

The user name that you use to log in to the OTHER system.

password

Your password used for the OTHER system.

url

The URL that you use to access the OTHER system. INTERDUBS will detect if it already understands the specifics needed for the system you specified. If not then you will see a message indicating this. Please get in touch with support in that case.


progress indication

If you visit the import page again you will see the status update of the batch import. The import is deliberately slow in order to avoid negative impact on the source system. Batch import uses randomized access during business hours from Monday to Friday based on your configured time zone. So don't be alarmed if the clip counter does not increase over the weekend.
