When to use the Import and Export service

Use the Import and Export service to import items into and/or export items out of a Content Manager instance. The API is documented in the Core Service API reference documentation deliverable. Typically, you use the service would be to transfer items, that is, export items from one Content Manager and import them into another. But you can also create an import package yourself. In some cases, SDL Content Porter is an alternative for the Import and Export service.
