Step 1: Selecting a Content Manager

The first step of exporting content is selecting the Content Manager to export from.

Procedure

  1. If you see the Content Manager instance from which you want to export displayed, skip ahead to step 5.
  2. Alternatively, if you do not see the Content Manager listed from which you want to export, click Add.

    Content Porter opens a dialog that prompts you for the following information:

    ParameterDescription
    ProtocolThe protocol you use to connect to the Content Manager, either HTTP or HTTPS
    PortThe port number you use to connect to the Content Manager, 80 by default
    NameThe network name of the server on which the Content Manager is located.
    DescriptionA text field in which you can enter text (for example, "Staging server") that helps you and other Content Porter users to identify this Content Manager instance. Content Porter does not use this information.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Content Porter opens a dialog that prompts you to enter credentials. Enter your User Name (for example DOMAIN\user) and Password and click OK to connect to this server:
  5. Select the Content Manager from which you want to export content and click Next.
    You may be prompted to enter a valid user name including domain (for example DOMAIN\user) and password to connect to the Content Manager you selected. If this happens, enter the required credentials and click OK.
  6. Click Next.
    The wizard proceeds to the next step.
