Migrating from CM SDK to Content Services

Hi,
I believe that content services is "built on" CM SDK.
Would it therefore be possible to migrate from an instance of CM SDK to Content Services? Are there any tools available to do this?
I think it would be possible to write an integration toolkit (of sorts) with the web services API but I'd rather see if there was anything available already!
Thanks,
Phill

We have no out-of-box tool at this stage to achieve this. As you can appreciate, CM SDK is that flexibile pretty much any application imaginable could be created leveraging all types of internal CM SDK structures (custom class objects, propertybundles, background agents, server-side overrides etc)
Content DB / Content Services abstract all of the low-level CM SDK structures away and introduces new FDK application structures such as Category, Workspace, Container etc.
We do not expose the internal API in Content DB, and instead only expose Web Services based off our FDK structures.
Developing a migration tool is purely on a case-by-case basis.
If the customer has made heavy use of document sub-typing, then they need to switch over to utilizing category objects.
If they have background agents, they need to look either at the Auditing /Event framework.
The complexity of the CM SDK migration will depend on how much of the low-level features the customer has leveraged. If it was purely just a metadata and content repository, migration will be quite simple.
If the application logic has been implemented using cmsdk structures (propertybundles etc), then migration will take some planning!

  • Migrated from BT BB - Cancellation of Service/Dire...

    I recently migrated from BT BB to O2, and received a letter beforehand from BT Broadband stating that my BT BB service would be cancelled on 03/06/2010.
    However, the monthly DD mandate has not been cancelled with my bank, even though the Billing team told me it had been (they confirmed there were no outstanding charges to pay).
    Also, if I log onto BT Yahoo Mail, My Account still shows me on the 'Broadband Option 4' product - I was expecting it to have now been downgraded to a PAYG account?
    (n.b. I do intend to take out a Premium Mail subscription, to keep my primary/secondary email accounts, once I'm positive the BB account has been fully terminated)
    If I cancel the DD myself, am I likely to get caught out if BT incorrectly try to debit me for BB this month? (I was on an old tariff, which was paid monthly and separately to the phone bill)
    Any ideas who I should contact, as I've already tried to get assistance from the Billing Team?

    Hi ama99,
    Sorry you have had trouble with your bills on the old BT Yahoo account.  I'll be happy to clear things up here.
    Could you send me in an email please to [email protected] with your BT account and telephone number and a link back to this thread.
    Cheers

  • Document Migration from CRM to SAP Content Server

    We are going live with SAP CRM 7.0 next week. CRM team configured some of applications like ITSM, Change Request Management and Transport Request database also as part of implementation.
    We got last minute requirement that CRM team would like to go-live with current configuration with current configuration and eventually they would like to migrate all documents to Content server.
    We do not have content server in place yet and planning to implement sometime in Feb.  I am trying to explore ways how we can export existing documents created in CRM and migrate to Content server and link it.
    Any ideas/Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Miral.

    In which repository are the documents currently stored in CRM? Please see if Note 688241 on 'Relocating large SAP Content Server Repositories' could be of any assistance to you.

  • BPEL's NotifyUserOfChange with Content Services

    We have a problem getting data from Collaboration Suite's Content Services. We are using BPEL 10.1.2. We've used the built in jdev project NotifyUserOfChange. We are able to assign the Workflow so that each time a Conten Services file is updated in certain folders an email is generated with the folder name and a hyperlink to the file's location.
    What we would like to include in the email is the username of the person who uploaded or edited the file. In Content Services under document properties, we see the values Created By and Last Modified By, but are unable to figure out how to have BPEL get those specific values in our email.

    Hi,
    Assuming you are using the latest Content Services patch (10.1.2.3.x), you should be able to see in the incoming queue message a parameter named :-
    IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_OWNER
    The value of this parameter is the user whom triggered the workflow.
    You could create a simple assign\copy rule using an xpath expression to extract this.
    For Content DB, we are soon releasing some new sample workflows based on SOA suite that should simplify things a fair bit.

  • Upgrade path from Content Services to Content DB

    Is there an official/unofficial upgrade guide on how to migrate from OCS Content Services to Content DB?
    And what about the licensing for the existing Content Services users?

    Contact your Sales/Account rep for licensing details - I believe there is some grandfather style licensing upgrade model in place.
    In terms of a migration/upgrade patch for Content Services to Content DB, we are currently looking in to this. For the time being though, we suggest that all new installations of Content Services actually utilize the Content DB installer (instead of the OCS installer).

  • How do I set up a proxy server for webmail services to assist in migrating from NMS 4.15p6 on NT to iMS 5.1 on HP-UX.

    I want to have minimal if no downtime at all when moving the message store. iPlanet support hinted at an "unsupported" proxy server solution, and would give no further information. I am running the MMP with 5.1 and that supports IMAP and POP migration, but I need support for webmail services as well to complete the migration from NT to UNIX with minimal distruption of thousands of users. I am using the MoveUser utility to move the message store in hopes that will clear up some store corruption we have been seeing.

    To get this in a 'supported' fashion you might want to wait until the iMS 5.2 release. iPlanet has said this release would include a webmail proxy/mmp server to do exactly what you desire.
    A proxy server would not be a solution to your problem as it would have to have access and knowledge to the users mailhost attribute to determine to which host to route the webmail connection. The webmail proxy/mmp will have this functionality.
    You might want to contact your iPlanet rep about this product and maybe you could get a copy of it as part of a beta program. I know iPlanet is always looking for oppourtunities for feedback like this.

    Hello Deepak Kori,
    thanks a lot for your reply!
    I read this SAP note and the note with additional information (129352).
    As i understand we can do a homogeneous system copy as follows:
    - setting up the new server (2008x64) with a MAXDB instance (7.6.03.09)
    - Creating a backup (migration) from the source system (7.6.00.18)
    - recovery with initialization of this backup on the new server
    - upgrade of the DB instance to SAP MAXDB 7.8.02.29
    If this is correct, i think we have a good strategy!
    Thanks
    Martin

  • Migration from Crystal IX to BO-XI using java sdk-- very urgent

    Post Author: Pranav.Sharma
    CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
    Need help in migration from Crystal Report IX to BO-XI.
    Currently we are using CR IX and Java SDK to access reports from J2ee application. These reports reside on remote server where we have shared access to that directory.
    We are accessing these reports through our j2ee application.Can anyone please elaborate whether we can use same SDK here with slight change in code probably in authentication related to CMS etc and calling mechanism or we have to go for BO java SDK alltogether. Is anything we are missing here?
    Can anyone please  help as  we have to complete migration in 1-2 days.

    The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
    All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
    Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
    There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
    I hope this helps

  • How to content migrate from e-room to sharepoint using powershell

    Hi,
    How to  do content migration from e-room to share-point using powershell.
    Please give step by step process and give some idea about migration using powershell and other tools.
     Thanks,
    inguru

    Hi,
    There is no direct content database migration approach from eRoom to SharePoint.
     However many third party tools such as Metalogix, Tzunami, and AvePoint are available to migrate eRoom content to SharePoint as well as you can write your own utility
    to migrate content since there are various eRoom API available for the same.
    Thank You, Somnath Matere

  • KM content migration from EP5. to NW2004s

    Hi all,
    Can you tell me if it’s possible to migrate KM content from EP5.0 to NW2004s?
    I know that the only scenario supported by SAP is the migration from 5.0 to 6.0 and then upgrade to NW2004s.
    But are there any tools that could be use to perform this migration directly from EP5.0 to NW2004s?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Paulo Ruivo

    Hi Paulo,
        As suggested  by SAP recommended way is to migrate from EP5.0 to EP6.0 then upgrade to EP7.0.
    No ,there are no standard migrating tool for migrating content as the way u want.I am afraid you may have to do it manually.

  • Clear search results from Content Services Windows Crawl 6.1

    We have ALI Content Services Windows Files 6.1 with a crawl job on a network location. It works fine. Now we have changed the location - directory structure. The job, modified with the new location works fine, however, we still see search results from the old location also. Since those documents no longer exist, clicking on the link causes an error. How do we clear the search results?
    Thanks.

    Have you tried running Search Repair. I believe this should clear out the orphaned search records.

  • How to Migrate content from a thrid party content management system to WC

    Hi,
    How can we migrate full content from a third party CMS to Oracle Webcenter Content system? Do we have a automated batch file import or any APIs which can accept XML data about the content files and upload to the content items to Webcenter Content.? The main idea is migrate from a old CMS to a new Webcenter Content.
    Any ideas...
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi
    You have different ways to do this action.
    - You can use "Desktop Integration Suite" that allows you to copy from your Windows Explorer to UCM like any other shared folder.
    - You can use BatchLoader, that will follow a script that creates this massive import to UCM
    - You can create a Java small client that via RIDC can insert all contents.

  • How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python and then use it for accessing Service Management APIs from Python SDK?

    Hello,
    I am using Azure Python SDK to perform calls to ServiceManagement APIs.
    I have a .publishsettings file generated for my account which includes an encoded version of my X509 certificate and all of my subscription IDs.
    How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python?
    Following is the code snippet that helps us do it in .Net.
    Is there a similar approach to do it in Python?
    var publishSettingsFile = @"C:\temp\CORP DPE Account-11-16-2011-credentials.publishsettings";
    XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(publishSettingsFile);
    var managementCertbase64string = xdoc.Descendants("PublishProfile").Single().Attribute("ManagementCertificate").Value;
    var importedCert = new X509Certificate2(Convert.FromBase64String(managementCertbase64string));
    thumbprint = importedCert.Thumbprint;
    Once I have the thumbprint, how can I use that thumbprint to access Service Management APIs from Python SDK?
    Thank you in Advance!

  • Web service issues in migrating from ColdFusion 9 to 10

    I'm troubleshooting a problem a client is having with their migration from CF9 to CF10. A webservice call that previously worked, no longer is working. When I call it from my CF10 server, I get this error:
    C:...\cfusion\stubs\WS-853189522_2...\service.java:10: class, interface, or enum expected package ...;
    The ellipses are to replace proprietary files paths and names.
    When I add the cfinvoke attributes wsversion and refreshwsdl, I get a "Unable to read WSDL from URL: .../service.asmx?WSDL" error instead of the above error. I also changed the default ws version from 2 to 1 in the CF Administrator, with no change. Are there any other known issues with CF10 that would interfere with a webservice call that worked in an earlier version?

    I found the answer, and it turned out to be quite simple. After making the change to the default webservice version in CF Admin, I needed to restart the server. It now works, although I am curious as to why adding the wsversion attribute to the cfinvoke tag calling the webservice didn't work. My concern now is that if they add an Axis 2 webservice call in the future that they may run into this problem again.
