Overview

Comala Document Management 7 introduces an improved capability - Document Activity. This requires you to upgrade your data.

The Document Activity Upgrade Console in global administration enables you to run pre-upgrade checks prior to upgrading your data.

What are the 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 and produces a support package to review the validation checks

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.

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

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.

Comala Document Management 7 Administration

Pre-upgrade check outline process

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

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

An Upgrade Checks REST API is provided to allow you to run the pre-upgrade checks programatically.

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)

  • without read only mode

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

  • No labels
