How to migrate from SAP content server to OPENTEXT?

[Former Member]

We have been using SAP content server as our storage for archived data for years.

Now we plan to start using OPENTEXT to admin our archived data.

How can we use OPENTEXT together with existing SAP content server?

My idea is to treat content server as any other media as as DVD, WORM, etc.

However, I do not see that OPENTEXT can be configured to admin content server .

If so, how to transfer whatever on the content server to IXOS?

We are at Opentext 9.5.x

Please share your experience. Thanks!

Hi Christy,

You asked "If so, how to transfer whatever on the content server to IXOS?"

Have a look at Note 1043676; there seems to be a report to migrate ArchiveLink documents from one content repository to other.

Hope this helps,

hi,

Please refere SNote 1043676.

Also, need to understand the following,

How to move an entire content repository from one content server to another

Sometimes you may need to move a content repository - but not necessarily all the content repositories from one content server to another. This can be done without much drama. Here is a means that I've used in the past:

Use report RSCMSEX to export the repository from the source content server.

Create a repository of the same name on the target content server.

Use Report RSCMSIM to import the repository into the target content server.

Delete the repository from the source content server (if desired!).

The SAP progrm sapkprotp controls the import and export. The ABAP reports allow you to specify the RFC destinations where sapkrpotp runs.

For lager repositories

The programs listed above cannot deal with the whole content repository at the same time. For a slower migration, try using the program RSIRPIRL. This approach allows you to do the migation on a live system.

Create the new content repository on your new content server.

Create the new content category.

If using distribution, distribute the new documents to the new category. otherwise change redirected category for DMS_C1_ST

Relocate using the program.
