Introduction
This whitepaper developed by me is a new concept to Upgrade or Migrate Documentum systems using only a subset of data from the source repository. The source would generally be the current production server and the target would be a new or an old system. I developed this concept while
working on an Upgrade Project for DCTM from 6.5 SP1 to 6.7 SP1. The requirement
was unique, in that the Non Production systems were to be carved out from the existing live
Production environment, however only with a subset of the documents. The concept was
developed due to the limitation of storage space on the new Non Production systems. Note
that this was a cross platform upgrade/migration exercise which needed extra
steps not covered in this whitepaper.
Target Audience
- Documentum Administrators
- Documentum Solution Architects and Designers
- Documentum Developers
When to use
This methodology could be used in
the following scenarios:
- DCTM Upgrades when a new target system needs to be created from a source but storage space is a constraint on the target.
- Migration Activities when a target system needs to be built with a source’s data subset.
- Reverse synching Non Production systems with Production data subset on a regular operational basis.
