Migration of data archive from one content repository to another

[Former Member]

Hi,

  We have been archiving data for years using archive link connected to Commonstore. We have around 4 TB of data and want to move the archive data from Commonstore to OpenText.

   We tried using the report-ZMIGRATE_ARCHIVELINK_FILES(SAP Note 1043676) but that migrates only the documents and not the data archives.

  We even tried to retrieve the archive data files using SARA-->Retrive option, we are able to retrive the archive data files, but not sure how to upload these files into OpenText.

  Please advise if there is a report to migrate Data Archive from one content repository to another.

Thanks

Hi Rajeev

You can try retrieving all the files from Common store back into SAP exchnage directory.

Set up a new repository on the OT environment and update the AO settings with the new repository for storage into OT.  Execute the storage jobs .

Hi Rajeev,

At my previous job, we migrated our data archive files from Commonstore to Open Text.  The program we used to do this was provided by Open Text.

Hi Karin,

   I was doing some testing with the Fucntion Module- SCMS_AO_COPY and looks like it was able to copy the data archive files from old repository(commonstore) to new repository(OpenText) and generated a new Document id.

  But the next question is how do we update the archive reference to use the new repository and new document id.

Thanks

You may have to manually update the table entries. Be careful when you use this approach.

Hello,

Report RSIRPIRL can be used for all Content Server vendors and will

move documents from Content Server to another. Please try this

report to migrate the documents.

Best regards

Ruby - this answer is not correct.  Report RSIRPIRL is used to move contents of documents that are managed by KPro to another folder.  See oss note 389366.
