Overview

Comala Document Management 7.0+ uses document activity to track workflow events.

To access the document activity capabilities in your data center instance will require you to upgrade your data for all existing spaces that currently have a workflow applied to a page or blog post.

  • new spaces will automatically utilize document activity

  • existing spaces without an applied workflow will utilize document activity on applying a workflow to content in the space

The Document Activity Upgrade Consoleconsole in global administration enables you to run pre-upgrade data checks and upgrade your data on a space-by-space basis.

Why run the pre-upgrade checks?

As a global administrator you can run the pre-upgrade checks

  • on Comala Document Management Server (from v6.17+)

  • on Comala Document Management Data Center Only (v7.0+)

Info

Pre-upgrade checks can be run without the need for Read Only Mode to be enabled

The process will

  • provide an indicative time to complete upgrade to allow you plan your maintenance windows

  • reduce the chances of encountering predictable issues while upgrading

What are pre-upgrade checks doing?

The pre-upgrade checks allow you to

  • to validate the existing activity in their instance to ensure that it will upgrade successfully, and

  • start planning your upgrades

The pre-upgrade check identifies

  • upgrade errors for specific pages in  each space

  • produces a support package (if errors are identified) to review the validation checks

Info

Both the pre-upgrade checks and the upgrade can be executed on a space-by-space basis to minimize the impact on your end users. These can be run in together for each space.

With Comala Document Management v7.0+ installed, you will need to run your Confluence Data Center instance in Read Only Mode to undertake the upgrade itself.

The checks simulate an upgrade of page activity for each document, then generate CSV files from both the original and ‘upgraded’ activity. These CSVs are then compared and error checked.

Tip

Pre-upgrade checks can be completed from Comala Document Management v6.17 on both Confluence Server and Data Center. We recommend that you update to the latest version before running the checks to ensure you have the latest set of use cases.

Pre-upgrade check outline process

The successful completion of the pre-upgrade data check for each space will be confirmed in the Document Activity Upgrade Consoleconsole.

If present, the number of pages in a space with an error is displayed and a support package detailing the error(s) for each page can be downloaded.

Tip

An upgrade checks and pre-upgrade checks REST API is provided to allow you to run both the pre-upgrade checks and/or the upgrade checks programatically.
