Import existing documents

You already have an existing Content Management server (SAP Content Server, Opentext, IBM FileNet...) and you want to migrate its contents to an cloud storage. Documents will be moved in a one-by-one strategy and an integrity check will be performed each time a document is stored in the target storage container.

Follow these to migrate your contents to CxLink Documents:

  • Call transaction SA38 or SE38.

  • Select /LNKAWS/MIGRATE_ARCHIVELINK and press F8 or Execute.

  • In the Migrate Archivelink report, set the following options:

    • Old Content Repository ID: The source content repository ID where the documents are stored.
    • New Content Repositoy ID: The new content repository ID where the documents will be stored.
    • Object Type: Metadata information like Object Type Defined
    • Document Type: Document Type previously defined
    • Date: Documentation creation date
    • Call numbers: The number of parallel processes for the migration process
    • Server Group: Background Server Group Name.
    • Test: Check this option if you want to perform a dry-run before you start moving your documents to the new Content Repository.
    • Delete Files: Check this option if you want to delete the files in source Content Repository

  • Execute (F8) the report in dialog or background (Background processing is recommended if you select to migrate a large number of documents)

  • Review the output to ensure that all documents have been successfully migrated. If the migration process finishes with no errors, your documents are now stored in the selected storage container in the cloud.
