Best way to migrate custom Archetype -> Dexterity types while maintaining the ID and UID

Hey Ramon,

maybe this post could help you:

How to retain UUID when migrating content type?

Similar migration situation here: we iterate over the content of some old site and recreate new items on the target system through plone.restapi. New content is - of course - created with new UIDs, links using resolveuid/<uid> don't work. For each new object create we call a browser view on the target system calling setattr(self.context, '_plone.uuid', old_uid) self.context.reindexObject(idxs=['UID']) self.context is the target object which usually has the same path then the original …

Also I guess the egg "plone.app.transmogrifier" does something similar in the file "uidupdater.py".
