Hi,

You should import the binary images before importing the documents which reference the binary images, like the example demo scenario in Content-EXIM demo project:

Binary images are separate entities from documents themselves, so the former must be imported before the latter.

You also need to run “Cleaning Hippo Mirror Docbase Values” script after importing documents:

Some background:

  • Internally image reference compound nodes nested in the document variant node contains a JCR UUID to link to the image node.
  • While exporting, it converts the internal UUID to path in JSON because the UUIDs cannot be compatible if you import the content into a different brXM env. e.g, test env to acct, acct to prod, etc.
  • When importing, the image reference compound nodes still have the paths instead of UUID.
  • Therefore, you run Cleaning Hippo Mirror Docbase Values script to convert the interim paths into mapped UUIDs. More info at https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/content-export-import/index.html#Keep_it_simple_stupid.
