How to Migrate Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) website content into Optimizely cms 12 website ?
The best approach depends on your requirements and precisley what you mean by migrate?
- Is this a one-off migration activity, meaning you are replacing AEM with Optimizely?
- Is this an integration meaning you want to use both AEM and Optimizely?
If it is the former, then the majority of effort required is a content mapping phase so you understand in detail
- What content you need to migrate and what data is associated with each type of content. Optimizely CMS understands three borad types of content. Page, Block and Assets
- What the required content structure you require is
The actual development then becomes two parts
- Exporting content from AEM. I am not sure what format AEM allows, it is often propratery as there are no agreed stanadrd for content definition interoperability
- Importing Content to Optimizely. Optimizely has its own propretary Import standard based on XML, which allows upload of content packages through the UI. However a common approach is to export into an intermediate format, then build tooling to take the intermediate format content / map and upload either via the Optimizely SDK (c#) or via the COntent Management API's (meaning you could build your tooling in any language)
Good luck!

Sorry I didn't realise you'd already replied! I'm getting bitten by this cached pages issue again!!
Unless I'm mistaken I dont think there's a straight import / export facility between AEM and Optimizely.
You'll need to write a custom ETL. I'm sure AEM provides some sort of API for the extraction but for importing, you'd use the Content Management API to create new content in Optimizely CMS.
You could also create new content definitions via the Content Definition API. More often than that you'd usually have a backend team whos already created the content structure because its dictating the editor experience for your channels (most commonly website). Just depends on your use case. Here's some links for the APIs.
