 | New Redbook NEW: Resources for migrating to V8.2 and V8.3 Content Manager for z/OS® V8.3 provides utilities to migrate metadata in Content Manager for z/OS V2.3 to Content Manager for z/OS V8.3 or to migrate from ImagePlus® V3.1 to Content Manager for z/OS V8.3. Migrating from V2.3 to V8.3. Object data in Content Manager z/OS v2.3 Object Servers will stay in place and can be accessed from Content Manager for z/OS v8.2 after the metadata migration. The migration utilities include a set of z/OS batch jobs to perform a series of metadata migration steps: - Preparation
- Migration System Definitions data
- Migrate objects related metadata
- Migrate items related data
- Migrate link data
- Migrate checkout data Migrate user table data
Migrating from ImagePlus V3.1 (or ImagePlus V2.2 with IPFAF/FWA V2.2.1) to CM V8.3. A "full ImagePlus V3.1 implementation" contains each of the three ImagePlus components: - ImagePlus Object Distribution Manager (IODM),
- ImagePlus Folder Application Facility/Application Programming Interface (IPFAF/API) and
- ImagePlus Folder Application Facility/Folder Workflow Application (IPFAF/FWA).
Migrating an implementation with any variations in these components will require a custom effort to migrate. The utilities provided are z/OS batch jobs in three high level groups: - Unload the required ImagePlus DB2 tables.
- Process/format unloaded ImagePlus data for loading to Content Manager V8.3 tables.
- Create additional tables required for migrated data, and load Content Manager V8.3 tables
During a migration from ImagePlus/390 to Content Manager for z/OS, V8.3, the ImagePlus objects are not touched. Only the DB2® tables are migrated. |
