Move images from one instance to another

[vps]

Hi All,

I found a way to move images from one instance to another. I am using below script to do that ;

var rec = new GlideRecord('db_image');

rec.addEncodedQuery('category=kb^nameLIKEKB0010714');

rec.query();

while(rec.next()){

//Push the record into the current update set    

var um = new GlideUpdateManager2();

um.saveRecord(rec);

}

The problem is, I have more than 4000 images in the table. It is taking lot more time to push all images in the single update set. Is there a way I can do this through slots for 300 images at a time?

Hi Varun,

There are several methods for moving data from one instance to another.

The system offers the following processes to move data from one instance to another.

• Export and import XML records directly from lists
• Create XML import sets and transform data as needed
• Export and import CSV files from lists

I don't think so you can move images by using any of the methods.

Hi Varun,

You can export the XML file for the required images and load that file in image table.

Also, refer to this blog for your reference. This should help.
