Cross repository copier

A cross repository copying method in an enterprise print system, a computer implemented the cross repository copying method comprising:

• receiving data on the computer from a user via a Graphic user interface (GUI) in the enterprise print system, wherein the data includes source repository information, target repository information, and a scheduled time for copying or moving source documents from a source repository and a target repository, wherein the source repository and the target repository belong to different content management systems;
• controlling a cross repository copier for processing the data by a control module, wherein controlling comprising:
• logging into both the source repository of a first document repository system and the target repository of a second document repository system through a repository manager and a plurality of repository adaptors;
• checking a plurality of source folders, subfolders in the source repository and target folders and subfolders in the target repository according to the data for a connection verification, wherein the source repository and the target repository belong to different content management systems;
• downloading at least one source document from the source repository and its corresponding properties data to a working repository based on the connection verification and the scheduled time;
• creating corresponding document objects in the target repository with the properties data;
• moving the source document from the source repository to the target repository after creating the corresponding document objects;
• wherein the repository manager is connected to the control module, and wherein the plurality of repository adapters are linked to the repository manager, wherein each repository adapter is connected to a corresponding native Application Program Interface (API) and the first or the second document repository system, wherein the first or the second document repository system comprises one of Documentum, Domino.Doc, LiveLink, FileNet, DocuShare, DigiPath, Remote File System (FTP), Local File System or Network Drive.
