Migrate the document from database to Content Server

[Former Member]

Dear All;

There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.

However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.

Please advise.

Thanks

Jordan

Hi Jordan,

from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.

If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content

Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I

would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report

in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives

necessary information.

This conversion program offers two possibilites:

- Complete migration:

The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original

application files are migrated together. The checked-in original

application files are transported into the storage catgories.

- Step-by-step migration:

In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files

remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application

files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated

viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.

I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would

really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting

organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.

To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise

you to contact your local consulting organisation.

Best regards,

Christoph
