Cloud to Cloud Migration
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
The Comala Document Family of Apps for Confluence Cloud supports the migration of all workflow data, including document activity, when moving spaces from one Confluence Cloud space to another Cloud space or Cloud site.
Atlassian provides guides to support Cloud-to-Cloud migration or export/import of Confluence content from one cloud site to another:
Migration of a Confluence cloud site to another existing cloud site
Importing a Confluence space from one cloud site to another cloud site
However, migrating your content from a source cloud site or importing a space does not include any apps installed in the source site.
Several steps must be taken to ensure that you can use your Comala Document Management family app on your new site.
Comala Document Management family app migration
After you have imported your data, you must install the Comala Document Management Family app.
The Comala app workflow event and actions history (document activity) are included for each page when using either Confluence Cloud-to-cloud migration or the Confluence space import process. When a workflow is added and applied, the document activity is available in the destination space and accessible in the document activity report for each page.
We recommend importing each space one at a time.
Ensure the imported content and any added workflow are updated for each imported space in your new site
choose the space settings>Comala Document Management/Control/Approval dashboard for the installed Comala app
enable the space workflow
reindex the space
After enabling the space workflow, you can initialize the content in each space to a specific state.
If you are using a page workflow, this workflow needs to be added manually to each document.
The Comala Document for Management for Confluence Cloud app allows using custom workflows and any workflow installed with the app. A custom workflow must be copied from the source cloud site as a JSON file from the code editor and then added to each space where the custom workflow is used in the destination site using the code editor in the app space settings.
Custom workflows are only available in Comala Document for Management for Confluence Cloud - both the source and destination site must have installed the Comala Document for Management for Confluence Cloud app.
