DATA CENTER ONLY
Upgrade to 7.0+
Comala Document Management 7 uses a new capability to record and track workflow events and actions - document activity. Existing spaces with workflow activity will need to have their data upgraded to utilize document activity after installing v7.0+.
Comala Document Management v6.17+ releases include the option to run data pre-upgrade checks for spaces with workflow activity to Comala Document v7.0+ and provides estimates of time to undertake the the required data upgrade for your existing spaces to utlize document activity.
Comala Document Management v7.0+ is data center only.
Pre-upgrade data checks
Instances using at least Comala Document Management v6.17+, can run pre-upgrade data checks to
check the viability of the upgrade to v7.0+
estimate the time required for the upgrade in your data center installation.
You can also run the pre-upgrade checks as part of the upgrade process after installing v7.0+
Read Only Mode is not required for the pre-upgrade checks but must be enabled when upgrading the space data after installing v7.0+.
Global admins can run the pre-upgrade data checks and view the current status of the upgrade checks for each space across their instance using the Document Activity Upgrade console
Comala Document Management for Server 6.17.11+ and later will continue to be supported with compatibility and security updates and bugfixes until Atlassian Confluence end of server .
Updating to v7.0+
It is recommended updating to the latest version of Comala Document Management v6 prior to updating to Comala Document Management 7.
install v7.0+
A new license for data center is required if updating from an existing server license.
On installation, existing spaces with workflow activity need to have their workflow data upgraded to use document activity. This can be done by a global administrator, selecting one or more spaces at a time, using the Document Activity Upgrade console.
Running the pre-upgrade data checks for existing spaces with workflow activity provides you with information to validate that the data upgrade to document activity used in Comala Document Management 7 will run smoothly. The check also provides an estimate of the time your data center instance will need to be in Read-Only mode for the upgrade for the selected spaces to take place to allow you to plan accordingly for minimal disruption to your users.
Existing spaces with no workflow applied (or previous workflow activity) do not require upgrading. These existing spaces will automatically utilize document activity if a workflow is applied after installation of Comala Document Management v7.0+.
New spaces created after the installation of v7.0+ will automatically utilize document activity to record workflow events and actions.
