SOAP Web Services have been available in Cascade Server for a long time, but have always required software engineering skills to write a script to import your custom data. In the last several months, Hannon Hill Services and Engineering have developed a migration tool, initially created for customers coming from Serena Collage, that is capable of importing arbitrary XML as Cascade Server Page assets, including metadata and highly structured data. We'll go over the use of the XML Migration Tool including how to adapt it to a custom XML import format. If you can export your existing data as XML, the Migration Tool will be able to create it as Pages in a one-time conversion process. Basic knowledge of XSLT strongly recommended.
