Hi, I have some documents that have been managed by DLS (Document Library Services) that I wish to transfer to another database. So far I have used xqsync to dump the documents to zip files, since xqsync retains the all important permissions and properties for you for every document.
However, I foresee a problem when using xqsync to ingest these documents into a destination database on a separate MarkLogic instance. DLS has embedded the IDs of roles and permissions into the properties of each document. I believe this is so DLS can restrict access to the documents to 'dls users' but can still check the actual permissions of the user against these permissions stored in the properties. However these embedded permissions are using IDs that are specific to the Security database in effect for the content database. If I were to ingest these documents elsewhere, the IDs will not exist in the destination Security database. Therefore the DLS API will fail when it checks permissions on access to these documents. Has anybody come across this problem before and found a workable solution? I can only think of 'fixing up' the documents during the transfer to have the correct IDs for the destination, perhaps during load time or by using corb afterwards. I really don’t want the documents to go in with incorrect IDs.
