Question:
File Cabinet Conversion Workflow - hints
Answer:
Access to ODBC Source
When it converts a file cabinet, Content Server must be able to access the ODBC source of the DocuWare 4 file cabinet. You must therefore ensure that the ODBC source resides on the same computer as Content Server and that the user name under which Content Server is running has access to the ODBC source.
Conversion in DocuWare Business
If you are using a DocuWare 4 file cabinet with a DocuWare BUSINESS license and you want to convert this file cabinet to a DocuWare 5 file cabinet, proceed as follows:
Set up a conversion workflow for the DocuWare 4 file cabinet and run the conversion. This creates a new DocuWare 5 disk. After the conversion, the "old" DocuWare 4 disk is in read-only mode. If you modify documents (or their index entries) that have already been archived, the documents are migrated to the new DocuWare 5 disk. New documents are stored on the DocuWare 5 disk.
"Unique" field property
When a DocuWare 4 file cabinet containing fields with the "Unique" property is converted, the following happens:
First the DocuWare 4 file cabinet is converted to a DocuWare 5 file cabinet. The "Unique" field property is then set. However, if there are two or more identical entries for the same field (e.g. because the field property in the DocuWare 4 file cabinet was set retrospectively), the "Unique" field property cannot be set for the DocuWare 5 file cabinet. An entry is written to the log file, but the conversion workflow is not cancelled. The result is a DocuWare 5 file cabinet, but without the "Unique" field property in the relevant field.
