DATA CENTER
Overview
Comala Document Management 7 and later (data center only app) use Document Activity to record workflow events and activity. Workflow data in existing spaces with an applied workflow prior to installation of the data center only app will need to have the workflow data updated to use document activity capabilities.
The Document Activity Upgrade console allows Confluence Administrators to
complete pre-upgrade data checks to validate the existing page activity in their instance, and
estimate the time for the data upgrade for each space data to support planning for the data upgrade process
upgrade the data in each space to utilize document activity
The Document Activity Upgrade console is available from Comala Document Management 6.17+ release to enable the running of pre-upgrade checks prior to an install of Comala Document Management 7.0 (Data Center only)
The following spaces in your data center instance will automatically utilize document activity
new spaces on the application of a workflow in the space
existing spaces without an applied workflow (prior to installation of the data center-only app) on the application of a workflow in the space
Document Activity Upgrade console
In Confluence Admin, choose Comala Document Management > Upgrade Activity.
The Document Activity Upgrade console allows you to identify the current spaces that use Comala Document Management workflows and require upgrading.
The console will run pre-upgrade checks to
select one or more spaces to check and upgrade
validate your existing data in the selected spaces
provide estimates of the time to complete the upgrade for each space
The Run Checks console table displays the spaces
a list of the spaces that will need upgrading
the total number of pages in each space
the total number of pages with workflow activity in each space
the current upgrade check/upgrade status
A summary of the check can be copied using the option in the Pre-upgrade checks statistics dialog box
Once the check has been completed and no errors are identified the selected space(s) can be upgraded to use document activity data.
The pre-upgrade checks and upgrade of a space can be undertaken in a single action in Comala Document Management v7.0+ if no errors are identified.
Run the document activity pre-upgrade checks
To run the upgrade checks
select one or more spaces listed in the console
choose Run checks
A progress bar displays the upgrade check progress for each selected space.
Successful validation of the pre-upgrade check for each space is displayed in the Status column including the date and time of the check. A duration time for the upgrade of the space is also displayed.
A global administrator can cancel an in-progress pre-upgrade check by clicking on the progress bar for each individual space.
This can be done, for example, to mitigate any performance impact.
Each pre-upgrade check runs in parallel, you may notice some performance impacts when starting a large number of checks at the same time. We recommend that you consider:
scheduling checks for low traffic hours
doing checks in small batches
using the Upgrade checks REST API to manage the initiation and reporting on the pre-upgrade checks
Pre-upgrade check errors
The console will display the following warning message if a pre-upgrade error has been found in one or more spaces.
Upgrade validation pre-upgrade check errors for a space will be displayed in the Status column. This includes
date and time of the validation check
estimated time duration for any upgrade
number of pages in space where errors where validation errors were found
A link to download a Support Package is also added to each space listing where an error has been found.
If a validation pre-upgrade check error occurs
download the Support Package for each space with a validation error
contact Appfire Support and include the Support Package as an attachment to this request.
