Manual Migration Tasks

Due to differences in the Atlassian cloud and server platforms, the migration of the Atlassian Migration Assistant will only migrate migrates the following

  • the current workflow state data for each page

  • the user details for the change to the current state in the Comala Document Management workflow for each page

You will need to undertake and check some manual tasks to Workflow events and activity history are not included in the migration. If this is required, additional actions must be considered to maintain an audit of workflow history.

Several manual tasks also need to be undertaken to complete the set of your cloud site. These tasks include

After migration, you need to log out and log in to the Cloud instance to avoid user migration issues.


User migration

The migration of the actual users for access must be done as part of the Atlassian Migration Assistant. If the migration has not included the users then , errors may occur when completing the space setup in cloud and applying your Comala Document Management workflow in the cloud site.


Page restrictions

Any page with Confluence view or edit restrictions cannot be included in migration to Cloud cloud with the page restrictions in place. You will need to temporarily remove the page-level restrictions to allow migration of these pages to take place without any errors.

Tip

The migration pre-check in the Atlassian Migration Assistant includes a report listing of pages in the migration with restrictions.If

Contact support if you have a significant number of pages with restrictions

please contact support

.


Install Comala Document Management app

Prior to migration you will need to Before migration, install the Comala Document Management for Cloud app.

Tip

If using a custom workflow, you You can use the server workflow builder Workflow Translator for Cloud to translate your a custom server workflow template to cloud-compatible JSON code. You can add this workflow This workflow template is added to a cloud space by copying and pasting the translated cloud-compatible JSON to the cloud app Code Editorcode editor.

The Workflow Translator for Cloud in server will does not translate any workflow elements and parameters that are a workflow element or parameter that is not directly compatible in with the cloud app. If any incompatible elements are present in the server workflow, these elements, such as workflow triggers or some state parameters, are listed separately in a report in the Cloud Translatorworkflow translator.


Workflow

History/Document Activity

events and activities history

Only the current state of a page with an applied workflow is exported as part of the Atlassian migration process. We do not support migration of workflow history (also known as Page Activity or Document Activity). The current workflow state is added as a file attachment to each document in cloud custom content accessible by the cloud app.

If workflow document activity is required for audit you may need to consider options of either

exporting this

  • before migration, export the workflow history as CSV for each page by running the Attach Activity utility to create the CSV file and add it as an attachment to each page

  • or running your legacy server instance as 'read only'


Tasks after completing the Atlassian migration process

Once you have enabled migration and undertaken the migration using the Atlassian Migration Assistant, to complete your cloud site you need to undertake tasks for

Filter by label (Content by label)
showLabelsfalse
maxCheckboxfalse
showSpacefalse
reversefalse
cqllabel = "manual" and ancestor space = "13942587466COMALAMIG"

Avoiding migrated user login issues

After the migration process has been completed it is recommended to exit and log in so migrated users are available (otherwise, the Cloud instance doesn’t recognize them).

Maintaining an audit history

The full workflow history and page status to Cloud cannot be migrated to the cloud and they are not accessible in the cloud app. If you need to retain access to a record for each page you must consider

Note

If your organization is in a Compliance/Regulatory industry and you periodically get audited, then you will may be required to keep Confluence on a Server running in read-only mode so auditors can review your previous Workflow History/Page Activity. The same goes for the Page Status.

You cannot migrate the full workflow history and page status to Cloud.

Info

Please feel free to raise

Running Attach Activity

Before migration, run the Attach Activity utility on a space-by-space basis to generate and attach workflow events and activity history for each page with workflow activity in the space.

The Attach Activity utility creates a CSV file of the workflow events and activities on each page in the space. The CSV file for each page is added as an attachment to each page

In space tools

  • open the Document Management dashboard

  • choose Attach History tab

Each time the utility is run, a new Attach Activity CSV file is generated for each page and added as an additional attachment to the page.

The Attach Activity utility generation of page activity attachments is ignored by any workflow triggers in server with the attachmentadded or attachmentchanged event to avoid triggering an unwanted action.
