Collaboration Room Transport

[Former Member]

Hi All Collaboration Gurus,

Just needed to know how i could transport Collaboration Rooms from Dev to QA (EP6 SP11).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

if you mean to transport the contents of already existing rooms you´ve bad luck. As far as I know, there´s no possibility to do this in an easy and automated way. You can transfer the contents manually using ICE or WEBDav, but you´ll loose for example the versions of documents and also some metadata.

Does this answer your question?

Hi Chris,

I have a few collaboration rooms in the DEV portal and want to move them over to the QA. I understand that the content of the rooms can be moved using ICE or Webdav.

But how about the rooms themselves? Do i need to re-create the rooms in QA. To further elaborate this:

Suppose i have a room A in dev with documents x,y and z.

I understand that x,y and z can be transported manually using Webdav or ICE.

However, i would like to transfer the room A as well so that i do not have to redo the work of creating another room in the QA system with the same name, authroizations, team members etc.

Please answer my question and take away a few points :).

Hi,

unfortunately there is now mechanism for doing that automatically. One has to create all the rooms again. We are moving 150 rooms and had to create them by hand.

Concerning transportation from

Dev -> Test -> Prod

within NW04 SPS12 the capability to transport room templates will be offered.

A room instance is not subject of transportation

Hello All,

I am on SP12 EP & KMC.

Need to transfer collaboration rooms with all content of Rooms from DEV to PRD server.

How do we ensure that all memberships, subscriptions, tasks, documents, document metadata, ++ is transferred?

Have seen the link

Are there any known issues in this?

Have anyone done this and what all issues can be taken care of.

Please update..

Hi Sunil,

As mentioned before in this thread, you can not transport a room and that is precisely what you are trying to achieve. At most you could transfer content areas such as documents using content exchange repository (assign yourself the Content Manager role and you will see a link called Content Exchange. Further information can be found on help.sap.com).

You will need to recreate all your rooms everytime you move over to a new environment. Sounds silly but all you can transport are room templates and i am yet to figure out how to correctly transport a template itself.

Hope i have answered your query.

Hi

But How do you recreate the collaboration rooms?

Could you give us further information about it?

If a collaboration room has documents, users, tasks, template, etc, etc, an of course a room_id.

how do you recreate the room?, how do you asocciate the room with this documents, users, tasks, etc,?
