Migrations-iView
You use the migration iView to migrate document classes. You determine the BW document repository from which you want to migrate documents and the CM repository in which you want to store the migrated documents.
The individual migration parameters are explained in detail below.
The migration procedure is described in detail in Migrating Documents. For more information about migration, see Migration of Documents into the CM Repository.
Screen Area: Migrate Documents
Dropdown box: System Alias
You use this dropdown box to display all the available systems that are configured in the Portal Content Directory (PCD). Choose the system alias for the BW system from which you want to migrate documents.
Dropdown box: Source (BW Document Repository)
You use this dropdown box to display all the available repositories for BW documents and choose the repository from which you want to migrate documents. The repository has to be configured so that it is connected to the system that you selected in the system alias field.
Dropdown box: Target (CM Repository)
You use this dropdown box to display all available CM repositories and choose the CM repository into which you want to migrate documents.
During migration, the system alias of the BW system is added to the target path under which the documents are stored:
/<BI_CM_DOCUMENT_PREFIX>/<SYSTEM_ALIAS>/...
Example: The target store on the portal is named /documents/SAP_BW, where SAP_BW is the alias of the BW system you have chosen.
You should only store BW documents in the target repository. To protect the documents from unauthorized access, configure the CM repository using the BW Security Manager for Documents.
Screen Area: Migrate
In this area, you specify the document classes that you want to migrate.
Set the indicator for each document class that you want to migrate. You can migrate each document class individually, or migrate several document classes simultaneously.
If you have set the flag for metadata documents, the system displays the following warning message: "Metadata documents should remain in the SKWF. Remove the flag if you do not want documents to be migrated to the portal". The system displays this warning because the documents are automatically transported with the metadata if this flag is set. If you want to migrate anyway, choose Start Migration.
If you have already migrated documents for master data, InfoProvider data, or metadata, the system displays a warning message. If you want to migrate anyway, choose Start Migration.
Screen Area: Other Options
You use the Overwrite Existing Documents indicator to overwrite documents that have already been migrated and are on the portal.
