Performing a delta migration

In some migration projects, the first documents are already migrated while you are still working with the source system. In the process, new documents are created or existing documents are changed. To ensure that these changes are also transferred to the target system, there are delta migrations. These delta migrations include the newly imported or changed documents.

Note

Using the dateOverallProc field in the metadata file for the exported documents as a basis, d.velop cloud migration automatically detects whether a newer version of the document is available. If so, the document is migrated again. Otherwise, documents that have already been migrated successfully are not migrated again.

This is how it works

  1. Perform a new export of the documents to be migrated as part of the delta migration (for instance, using the d.velop documents repo export API).

  2. If necessary, edit the mappings for the categories, properties, users and groups in d.velop cloud migration.

  3. If necessary, update the connector.

  4. Configure the connector and adapt the export directory for the new export.

  5. Configure the migration.

  6. Start the migration.
