DXL Exporting

The DXL export will use Base64 encoding.
However, the content of the Base64 may also not be readable to a non-Notes system. This is for full round-trip fidelity in using the DXL Importer class.

So areas that may appear weird are Date/Time fields, Rich Text fields and Attachments.

If the Attachment is LZ1 compressed then the DXL base64 content will contain the LZ1 compressed data - propriety - therefore unusable.

This is where you need to look at the DXL Exporter class. In v8 or 8.5 there is an option to remove LZ1 compression. Else you will need to do this on the database before exporting.

For all the other Notes stuff you could convert the message to MIME before exporting. Use XSLT to perform conversions or your ECM system has a plug-in that can read Domino DXL.


NOTE: DXL changed on each version (including some minor versions). So if you are running DXL Importer code on a client - then when the DXL was originally exported, it must have been the same or less Client version. Hence we pushed all DXL conversions to an old Domino server than was the same level as the oldest Notes Client out there.
