Data upgrade for Document Activity
- Robert Alexander Marshall
DATA CENTER
Overview
Comala Document Management 7 introduces an improved capability - Document Activity. This requires you to upgrade your data in spaces with pages and/or blog posts with an applied Comala workflow.
New spaces created in your data center instance will automatically use document activity data and do not need to undergo any data upgrade
Spaces in your data center instance that have not previously had a Comala workflow applied to any page or blog post will also automatically use document activity when applying a workflow for the first time and will not need to have the data upgraded.
Document Activity Upgrade Console
The Document Activity Upgrade console in global administration enables you to manage the upgrade of your data (and run pre-upgrade checks).
The data upgrade option is only available in Comala Document Management v7.0 and later. This will require Read Only mode in your data center to be enabled during the data upgrade.
Pre-upgrade checks can be completed from Comala Document Management v6.17 on both Confluence server and data center. We recommend that you update to the latest version of the Comala Document Management app before running the checks to ensure you have the latest set of use cases.
he Activity Upgrade console table displays
a list of the spaces that need upgrading
the total number of pages in each space
the total number of pages with workflow activity in each space
the current upgrade check/upgrade status
A summary of the console table can be copied using the option in the Pre-upgrade checks statistics dialog box.
Once the check has been completed and no errors are identified the selected space(s) can be upgraded to use document activity data.
Data upgrade process
Once you have completed the pre-upgrade checks you can plan your upgrade activity to take place in

Running the data upgrade
What to do if any pre-upgrade checks or an upgrade fails?
A pre-upgrade check that includes any errors on pages in a space will display the number of pages with an error in the space and a downloadable Support Package file. This can be attached to a Comala support ticket.
