After you convert
FileNet® P8 objects,
you can import them to a destination
FileNet P8 system.
Restriction: The contents of recovery bins are ignored by
FileNet Deployment
Manager. Objects that are marked
for deletion on the destination system are not imported. If you are
importing a document that was marked for deletion on the destination
domain, a uniqueness constraint error (DB_NOT_UNIQUE) is returned.
If an error occurs, take one of the following actions:
- Remove the document that is in the recovery bin from the export
manifest and rerun the import procedure.
- Remove the document from the recovery bin by reinstating the document
and rerunning the import procedure.
- Delete the document from the recovery bin and reimport the document.
Restriction: A document object represents
a specific version of a document whose content is stored as content
elements. A document objects property can be modified, but the content
elements cannot. If the import option “Import Object ID” is specified,
and an imported document object exists in the destination object store
with the same ID, the content of the imported document is unchanged
even if the convert operation altered its contents in the converted
deploy data set. If the conflict occurs, take one of the following
actions:
- From the destination object store, delete the specific version
of the document that you are importing. A new document version is
created, but is not modified, when you reimport the document. When
you import a document object, it is assigned the next appropriate
major and minor version number. The major and minor version numbers
from the source system are not retained. Therefore, if a version is
removed from the middle of a version series, when the document is
reimported, it becomes the newest, and therefore the current, version.
- If the document version cannot be deleted before the import process,
for example, if you want to maintain the history of versions in the
destination system, manually modify the content by using the appropriate
tools in the destination system after the import process completes.
Important: If the import option Only update
localized properties for class definitions, property templates, and
choice lists is selected, FileNet Deployment Manager imports only
the display names and descriptive texts properties for existing class
definitions, property templates, and choice list values. If the class
definition, choice list or one of its values, or property template,
does not exist in the destination object store, the asset is not created.
