Migrating documents

Here are the migration details and migration notes for documents and files.

Migration Overview

  • In CEE the text field supports three formats: "Default", "Exactly as entered" and "HTML source". In CTF 17.4, there are two types of document mime types: "Text/Plain" and "Text/Html".
  • The file format selected as "html source" in CEE is migrated to CTF 17.4 as an attachment.
  • The CEE document files with "Default" and "Exactly as entered" format type are displayed as "Text" format type in CTF 17.4.
    Note: These files can be edited by selecting the Create online option under Update Document.
  • The CEE document files with "Html source" format type are displayed as "Html" format type in CTF 17.4.
    Note: These files can be edited by selecting the Upload from file option under Update Document.
  • In CEE, a document can be in either of the following states:
    • Draft
    • Reviewed
    • Baselined
    • Archival
    • Obsolete
    • Stable
    . In CTF 17.4, a document can only be in either "Draft" or "Final" state.
  • All CEE documents except those in "Stable" state are moved over to CTF 17.4 as "Draft" documents. The "Stable" documents are moved over as "Final" file status.
    Note: The "Obsolete" state may have a prefix identifier in the "Draft" state.
  • The folder hierarchy is retained.
  • The file version of moved files is set as version 1.
  • Locked documents are retained as locked.
    Note: If a document in CEE is set with a future date for locking, when migrated, it will be migrated as an un-locked document only. Locked documents can be viewed but not edited.
