Client use cases

Major pharmaceutical company

This company uses BatchPorter to import and export entire CTD and eCTD submissions. BatchPorter preserves the folder structure and creates one on the file system from a Documentum virtual document.

Global bank

This bank has deployed DocMigrator to undertake a data migration on an automated, scheduled basis for data inside the firewall to a DMZ accessible externally.

North American oil company

DocMigrator was deployed to clean up metadata, by migrating documents from a repository back into the same repository, retaining the previous modify date and modifier information, but standardizing the metadata on a rules basis in the process.

Migration Tools

DocMigrator

DocMigrator provides functionality to migrate data between repositories on the same platform or across platforms. Functionality includes:

  • Rules-based mapping of metadata: replacement, concatenation, substrings, query-based updates, adding and dropping values.
  • Handling of versions, renditions and virtual documents.
  • Migration of related objects, including remapping of object IDs (Webpublisher).

SysMigrator

For Documentum only, SysMigrator allows migration of all system objects required to support migrating content from one environment to another, including:

  • Users, groups, roles
  • ACLs
  • Types, procedures
  • Jobs and methods
  • Registered tables
  • Any custom system objects / TBOs

BatchPorter

For end users, batch importing and exporting can be an arduous process. BatchPorter allows such tasks to be simplified and even automated (e.g. watching a "hot" folder to be imported / exported). BatcPorter uses Excel for the metadata, and some key features include:

  • Creation of drop-downs in the Excel from Documentum data dictionaries to facilitate subsequent import mapping
  • Handling of versions, renditions
  • Import and export of virtual documents / folder hierarchies
  • Creation of folders as required.
  • Creation of an "errors" Excel sheet containing failed items to be re-run separately.
