versionHandlers

This section defines handlers for each item version to be transferred. When an item version is transferred, the handlers defined in the versionHandlers section are called. These handlers perform the postprocessing of the transferred item versions.

By default, there is only one handler version in the configuration file – the language handler - which is used for correcting the name of the language item. But if you want to transfer media files to Sitecore database, you should change the value of the ‘mode’ attribute to ‘on’ for the items defined below:

The MediaPath handler collects information about transferred media items. This information is used during content items transferring.

The Media handler fills the blob fields for media items with media streams.

Note: Sitecore 5.3.1

By default, there are two enabled handlers in the configuration file – the language handler - which is used for correcting the name of the language item and MediaHandler – which is used for correct handling MediaItems (see detailed description below). But if you want to use HtmlFieldHandler, you should change the value of the ‘mode’ attribute to ‘on’ for the items defined below:

MediaHandler enabled by default and used for copying media stream to blob or to the Media.BaseFolder (it depends from the parameters for this handler).

Parameters:

UploadAsBlob=on - means that file will be loaded to the database during migration

UploadAsBlob=off - means that file will be downloaded to the special folder which is defined in the web.config file (Media.BaseFolder setting)

OverwriteFiles=on - useful only for UploadAsBlob=off mode and means that media file with the same path will be overridden during migration
