Importing eCM content - How do you do it?

Posted October 28th, 2009 by edbaur

Developing for iMIS | Web Content Management

I have begun trying to migrate eCM content for an test upgrade I just made, but having a very difficult time following the manual.

Here is my entire configuration.

10.6 is still in production on a web server and SQL server.
I have a seperate server that hosts the entire iMIS 15.1 application and web server pointing to the common SQL server below.
SQL server hosts both databases - the current development database in 10.6 which is a mirror of production 10.6 and the newly upgraded to 15.1.3632. Content folders reside in both dB's.
Copy of Production 10.6 dB: iMIS15_DEV
Upgraded db: iMIS15_1

I'm trying to follow the directions but it's very confusing to follow them, because it's assuming that you've already put the dB into production and eCM is already working in iMIS 15.1 which doesn't seem like a reasonable assumption. Here is how I followed the steps in the instructions:

1. I applied this script to the iMIS15_1 dB

UPDATE SystemConfig
SET ParameterValue = 'CM5:provider=SQLOLEDB;
Data Source = ISRISQL;
User ID = sa;
Password = Correct Password;
Initial Catalog = iMIS15_DEV;'
WHERE ParameterName = 'SecondaryConnection'
AND ParameterValue LIKE 'CM5%'

The script resulted in one changed record.

2. I went into the iMIS15.1 application/web server and modfiied the CM5MigrationTool.exe.config file to the following information
<connectionStrings>

<add name="DataSource.iMIS.Connection" connectionString="server=ISRISQL;database=ISRIIMIS_15_1;uid=sa;pwd=isriimis;" />
</connectionStrings>

and

I ran the CM5MigrationTool.exe file from the same server which hosts the new iMIS 15.1 configuration.

Here is the error that I'm receiving:

O:\Program Files\ASI\iMIS15\Net\bin>cm5migrationtool.exe

This doesn't look

On October 28th, 2009 Eric Means says:

This doesn't look right:\

The value of that key should be the path to your eCM source folder, which unless things are configured very differently than I expect, should not be in your indexServiceProtected folder (that folder is new in 15.1 and stores search metadata and uploaded files for WCM).

Also, note that this tool cannot be used if you were running eCM in two-database mode; you must have your eCM/eSeries database as the same database as your iMIS database. (I don't believe the upgrade will even succeed in two-database mode, so that's probably not the case here.)

If you are using a single-database install and just want to migrate your eCM content into WCM, then both connection strings should be the same (i.e. the source and destination DBs would be the same). They only need to be different if you actively want to migrate eCM content into a different database.

On this test upgrade, I only

On October 28th, 2009 edbaur says:

On this test upgrade, I only installed iMIS15. I don't have any eCM content on that server. That's my point. I'm building a test server for iMIS15 and didn't start by building an entire 10.6 eCM server and upgrade, but simply upgraded the dB. The other server (10.6) hosts all the eCM content in the folder. Where would I put that Source folder on the new server?

It's all in one database.

I'll try the same connection... after I figure the first paragraph above...

I see. I'm not sure you can

On October 28th, 2009 Eric Means says:

I see.

I'm not sure you can run the migration tool against a 10.6 database, but you can try it. Your UPDATE SystemConfig setting would need to point to the 10.6 database, not the 15_1 database (to tell it where to load the eCM database information from), and the connection string in the .config file needs to point to the instance you want the content to end up in.

If it won't run given the 10.6 DB info, you'd need to make a copy of the 10.6 database, upgrade it to 15.1, and then point the migration tool at the upgraded copy.

You can put the Source folder anywhere, the tool just needs to know the path so it can copy images, uploaded files, etc.

So I have to move the entire

On October 28th, 2009 edbaur says:

So I have to move the entire E:\eSeries\Source content folder over to the Test server? and place it anywhere? I have an upgraded copy of the dB already set up in 15.1.3632, so you're telling me all the connection information should be pointing to that dB and run everything on the server where I have iMIS 15.1 installed? That upgraded dB does contain all the content tables.

As long as the source

On October 28th, 2009 Eric Means says:

As long as the source content folder can be accessed from wherever you're running the migration tool, you don't have to move it at all -- just give it the correct path.

Yes, you can point it all at the same upgraded server and it should be fine.

Eric Means
System Architect, ASI

OK, here is what I did

On October 28th, 2009 edbaur says:

OK, here is what I did now...

1. I ran the following script on the new database that was upgraded to iMIS 15.1
UPDATE SystemConfig
SET ParameterValue = 'CM5:provider=SQLOLEDB;
Data Source=ISRISQL;
User ID=sa;
Password=isriimis;
InitialCatalog=ISRIIMIS_15_1;'
WHERE (ParameterName = 'SecondaryConnection') AND (ParameterValue LIKE 'CM5%')

2a.
Changed this to
<connectionStrings>

<add name="DataSource.iMIS.Connection" connectionString="server=ISRISQL;database=ISRIIMIS_15_1;uid=sa;pwd=isriimis;" />
</connectionStrings>

2b.
Changed this to:
<add key="SourceRootLocation" value="O:\Source" />

Now running the tool on the same server where 2a. and 2b. were configured, I still get the same error as the original error.

Would I have to restore the upgraded dB each time after running that script since it errored out?

No, you shouldn't have to

On October 28th, 2009 Eric Means says:

No, you shouldn't have to restore the DB; the migration tool can be run multiple times without problem.

Does that DB have a Component_Script_Ref table in it?

They have about 100 components, but each of them generally ends in </table> There are a lot of ocmponent names that are like this: Ch.Pg.M&E,Title,HTML alot of periods and commas...

If this is the same

On November 3rd, 2009 Eric Means says:

If this is the same DB Chris Young is working with, then the problematic one is TitleDateMonthYear; it has a { in it but no }, and that's causing the parser to hiccup. You can try removing the { and running the import.

I guess what I was getting

On November 3rd, 2009 edbaur says:

I guess what I was getting at, is the underlying issue of trying to diagnose this with each customer in the future. How did you determine that and how can I through the migration tool? Is it possible to provide further diagnostics with the tool. I.E. Now I'm having problems with content records. How do I determine which content record is the culprit. The tool does not provide any guidance on the record...

Yeah, I understand the issue

On November 3rd, 2009 Eric Means says:

Yeah, I understand the issue -- it needs better error messages in general (I'd like it to print out which databases it's connecting to at the beginning, as well). I'll make sure to communicate that internally as we're fixing some of these issues.

Unfortunately, I determined that by debugging into the code using a copy of the DB, which will be hard for you to reproduce. :(

One thing you can do for other issues is look at where it stopped; execute select * from CM5Migration order by ImportedDateTime desc and look at the ItemIds of the last few things it imported. That might let you identify what it was working on.

What table are the folders located in? I can't find the problem yet... Is there ANY WAY of getting the source code for the migration tool to look at what you're doing, instead of addressing each incremental issue?

It looks like there are

On November 3rd, 2009 Eric Means says:

It looks like there are several content folders with no DirectoryName value; I don’t know if that’s an error or not, but the following query shows all the records that will blow up that routine:

SELECT * FROM Nav_Menu a, Website b
WHERE a.WebsiteKey = b.WebsiteKey
AND a.CategoryDepth > 0
AND a.WebsiteKey <> 'EB4006C8-EB7A-48AA-9861-6B2C959E5549'
AND (
a.NavContentGroupInd IS NULL
OR a.Title IS NULL
OR a.DirectoryName IS NULL
)
ORDER BY SortOrder

The code is not expecting any of NavContentGroupInd, Title, or DirectoryName to be null. I know Chris Young is going through the migration as well; I'm coordinating with him to track down issues as he finds them. When we go to fix the code issues I'll try to make sure we add better error messages (such as what item was being migrated when the error occurred) as well.

I am doing an eCM to WCM

On January 25th, 2010 lpapageorgiou says:

I am doing an eCM to WCM content migration which seems identical to this one. i.e. I have a web server that hosts eCM and that points to an iMIS10.6 database. I have upgraded the database to 15.1 (in test) and also want to do a test content migration on a separate web server.

Just to confirm, the source content folder is the one specified by this query??
select * from system_variable where name = 'SourcePath'

This has the value "Source\"

Would this refer to "E:\SITES\ECM_VGA\Source" or "E:\SITES\ECM_VGA\Customer\Source"?

If it helps in answering the question, in their website settings they have:
Where should published content be stored? This is an absolute file path on the Web server at or below the web root from the publishing server."E:\Sites\ECM_VGA\Customer\"
Where should secure published content be stored? This is an absolute file path on the Web server above the web root from the publishing server. "E:\Sites\ECM_VGA\"
Under which directory should the published files associated with navigation be stored? This should be relative to the publishing server's paths and need to match what is entered relative to Website URL. "Content\NavigationMenu\"
Under which directory should the published files associated with content folders be stored? This should be relative to the publishing server's paths and need to match what is entered relative to Website URL. "Content\ContentFolders\"

If I set the two connection strings (i.e. the one in the systemconfig table and the one in CM5MigrationTool.exe.config) to point to the iMIS15 database, and then set the "SourceRootLocation" to point to the current live source content (using a UNC path), then this should not affect the iMIS10.6 eCM system in any way. Is that right?

I'm just trying to understand what it exactly does when you run the tool.

Thanks.
Leo

Per the iMIS docs, for

On January 26th, 2010 Eric Means says:

Per the iMIS docs, for SourcePath:

In the <SystemParams> declaration, modify the value attribute of the SourceRootLocation key to specify the physical path where content source files (the e-CM equivalent of uploaded files associated with ContentFile web parts) are stored on the IIS server where your e-CM websites are hosted. This value is specified in SourcePath parameter of the Configuration Settings for your e-CM environment. Here is an example of that section:
<add key="SourceRootLocation" value="C:\Inetpub\Source" />

Yes, you will need to update the connection strings to point to the iMIS15 database (only update the iMIS15 database, the 10.6 database will not be used at all). The UNC path used to access the eCM source files will be used as a read-only store, it will not be modified. In short, your 10.6 environment will not be modified at all.

Thanks Eric. Are there any

On January 31st, 2010 lpapageorgiou says:

Thanks Eric. Are there any issues with having WCM and eCM running against the same database?
I was thinking that when they go live with iMIS15.1 it will take some time getting their WCM site up and running. To avoid website downtime, could they continue to use eCM against the upgraded database and in the meantime also work on their WCM site? Then when they are happy with the WCM site, they can make it available to the public.
Note: eCM and WCM are hosted on different servers.

I think we would need to upgrade eCM to make it work with iMIS15, but are there any other issues in doing this?

Regards,
Leo

There shouldn't be any

On February 1st, 2010 Eric Means says:

There shouldn't be any issues with that, Leo; we designed WCM so that it should run side-by-side with eCM specifically because we knew many customers wouldn't necessarily want to convert all of their content immediately upon moving to 15.1.

Where in the database is the default website trait set? When i go to either sites settings, the default site checkbox is greyed out and I can't set either one to NOT be default.

Default websites

On February 26th, 2010 Courtney Robertson says:

For each value you use in the "URL(s) pointing to the IIS website root" field, you must have one default website. Do you're sites use the same URL?

Two default websites

On February 26th, 2010 edbaur says:

When i've migrated this content over, I get a peculiar configuration problem where this site becomes the default website along with the casual user website being the default website. With that, both sites come up, but I run into several issues when going to each site. When logged off of either site, the images appear everywhere within the content. When i'm logged in, the images are hidden throughout the websites. A CSS img(visibility:hidden) trait is applied to each image throughout the site when I'm logged in? Also each time I login to the migrated content and login and then go to a different browser and login to the casual site, I can go back to the migrated content site and get the following error:

The migrated content site's master page is not Empty.master, so I'm really confused on what is going on within this scenario. Any ideas?

Have you tried republishing

Have you tried republishing your site?

Having two default websites

On February 26th, 2010 Eric Means says:

Having two default websites is not in and of itself an issue. You can only have one default website for a given root URL, however. The casual site's URL is http://localhost/, so as long as you didn't enter localhost for the other site's URL they won't conflict.

It sounds like the page isn't correctly identifying which website it should be using (thus getting the wrong master page as well). Can you export the website object (just the website, not its children) and send it to me? emeans at advsol dot com.

dBase

On March 5th, 2010 edbaur says:

I'm currently sending the entire dB over to ASI. Will that suffice. I'm having the most difficult time with this data migration. I've tried all kinds of configurations with all of the content folders and none seem to provide me a migration of all the PDF's that are associated with the site. There is an ongoing SMR with Matthew associated with this problem. I'll send you the export of the website also...

Ed, I just noticed this

On March 8th, 2010 Eric Means says:

Ed, I just noticed this part -- "When i'm logged in, the images are hidden throughout the websites. A CSS img(visibility:hidden) trait is applied to each image throughout the site when I'm logged in?"

That sounds like the user you are logging in as has the Text Only mode set. There should be a button (by default in the templates we ship it's in the bottom left corner of the page) to turn it off again.

I'm looking at the exported website now.

This only occurs when I make

On March 8th, 2010 edbaur says:

This only occurs when I make a multi-instance and ALL of the files and DB's when I begin are identical. I login as manager. This has happened for us in several implementations. I'll look to see if the button makes a difference though.

What does the URL look like

On March 8th, 2010 Eric Means says:

What does the URL look like when you get the Empty.master error? The website definition itself looks OK to me.

I can repeat this issue.

On March 8th, 2010 edbaur says:

I can repeat this issue. When I go to the URL below, I can peruse correctly through the site. I go to login to the administrative site successfully and go back to the URL below and once again, I get the Error that's listed above. It's when I go to the administrative site and go back to wCM is when it occurs.
