Alchemy plugin to download report from SDL WEB8

We all have came a across from a situation where we need to deploy/port CMS items from one environment to another for that we have Content porter but we need to manually identity(list of items which got created or modified after a certain date) items which we need to migrate.We used Bundle Schema to clubbed all the items at one location but that is again what if we missed any item and as a result content porting might failed due to some or the other dependency.

Here, is an Alchemy plugin which will allow you to download report from CMS based on date.I have used coreService,jQuery to build this plugin and a .ASPX page which is for popup.

This plugin will help you in migration as well where you need to identify items from across CMS.

Steps 

1.    Download the Developer pack from visual studio gallery Link.

2.    Alchemy version that I have used can be downloaded from Alchemy4Tridion link.

3.    Create a project selecting "Starter Plugin Project" template change the project name .

4.    Build the project and navigate to the generated .a4t file.

5.    Drag and drop the file in alchemy window.
