Migrate data from 2.x to 3.4.x - what are the options

nikes

Hello All,

We have a requirement to migrate data of instance 2.x to 3.4.x

Initially I thought to just export data from 2.x in ACP format and import to 3.4.x. But it seems ACP formats are not compatible amoung different versions.

We would like to keep all the documents metadata (creation date, modified date, creator etc…), permissions too.

Is there any built-in feature or some module that could be used?

or custom code with Foundations API needs to be written I guess.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply mrogers.

I am aware of the upgrade process.

But our aim is to migrate Data from 2.x to 3.4.x and not performing a step by step version upgrade process. (We have two different instances running 2.x and 3.4.x so both system having data)

Is there any tool available which can export data(from 2.x) in a format compatible with the higher version of Alfresco?

It depends upon whether the models are compatible.

You will probably be O.K. with ACP.

Failing that you will have to do some analysis and perhaps some data transformation.

To start with, I'm analyzing exported ACP file data.

Is it possible to export workflow started on documents also?

Scenario1
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I created a folder under company home and uploaded couple of documents. Then started advanced workflow on couple of documents.
Exported full repo running export on Company Home.

Renamed the .acp file to .zip, extracted .xml file. But it does not show any information about workflow.

Scenario2
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Create a folder, uploaded a documnet and started workflow
Then exported this space and everything under it.

Then imported in same repository under different space.
It got imported properly, but imported documents does not have any workflow attached which is available in original exported document.

Thanks,
Nikesh
