Hi All,

I need your help. I have moved original documents from 1 KPRO server to another using DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT. Now this works quite well. Now for some other reason, i have some documents missing and they used to exists in the old KPRO. Is there anyway i can get back the originals?

Thank you in Advance,

Danny

hi,

Follow the steps,

In order for you to use document types from earlier Releases with the new storage categories you must carry out the following steps:

1. Enter in Customizing for Document Management the required settings for the the new storage systems: Maintain storage system , Maintain storage category

2. Call the program: DMS_KPRO_CONVERT (Migration DMS storage into storage of the Knowledge Provider).

3. Press the button |@K8@ (Settings).

Enter the new transport target (storage category) for the old storage data.

*Make this entry for all old storage data where the selected document type can be found

If you want to carry out a complete migration, set the indicator Physically transport the original application files during migration.

*If you want to transfer old audit versions (checked-in content versions) into the new storage system, set the indicator Transferaudits during migration from DMS to KPRO.

Save your entries and go back to the initial screen of the conversion program.

1. Enter the data in the intial screen of the conversion program.

Enter one or more document types whose document info records and possibly original application files you want to transfer to the new storage system.

You can also make a test run of the migration with a simulation by setting the indicator test run .

If you have already run the conversion and only want to convert corrupt documents from the table DMS_CONV2KPRO2, set the indicator to Only documents with errors.

You can see information in the messgae about the progress of the migration when you set the indicator progress indicator. This will, however, impede performance.

Enter the settings in the application log.

The application log contains information about which documents were converted.

Assign a log ID number. This is the number used for identifying the log of the conversion.

Enter a temporary directory where the original application files can be saved.

Start the conversion by pressing |@15@. .

2. Because the logs are saved in the application log you can view them at a later time (transaction Evaluate appication log).

Enter the Object as CV.

Enter the Sub-object as CONVKPRO.

A list appears that shows the status of each individual conversion.

Check whether conversions have errors.

The corrupt original application files are put into the temporary directory that you entered in the initial screen.

3. If a conversion was not carried out successfully you must convert the corrupt documents.

Set the indicator Only documents with errors in the initial screen of the conversion program.

4. When the conversions for all documents of the document type have been executed successfully the system automatically sets the indicator Document storage using the Knowledge Provider (Customizing of Document Management, detail screen of the document type Define document type).

Verify this indicator.

Hi Danny,

is the original not available at all or could you just not display it correctly? If the original is still there on the former KPRO you can download it with report DMS_KPRO_READ.

Hi Christoph,

I believe the original is still on the kpro server. For some reason, when i ran the dms_relocate_content program, there was a space added between the drive and the filename i.e "G:\ doc.txt". Is there a way to get rid of all the spaces in between?

Tks,

Danny

Hi Danny,

I think the easiest way would be to remove the space from the file path in transaction CV02N. If you display the details of the original then you will see the complete filepath where you can remove the space manually.

Best regards,

Hi Christoph,

I did as you have suggested, but the path is greyed out. I can edit some fields except for the complete path.

Tks,

Hi Christoph,

Does "DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT" program, delete from the source kpro or only copy over the files to the destination kpro?

Kind Regards,

Danny
