Migrating assets from 1.x Remote services to Document Builder
In Rational® Publishing Engine 2.1.1 and
later, the Remote services are deprecated. You can migrate your assets from the Remote services
server to Document Builder after upgrading.
Before you begin
- Upgrade Rational Publishing Engine and deploy Document Builder.
- Remote Services 1.x should be up and running.
You must have administrator access to migrate assets. You can migrate the following asset types:
- JavaScript files
- snippets
- style sheets
- templates
Asset owners are retained in Document Builder as long as the owner is a valid user in Document Builder. For example if Requirements template from Remote Services 1.x is owned by the user Bob, this template is added to Document Builder with Bob as owner. If the owner does not exist in Document Builder, it will still be migrated with the same user name. These assets can be migrated manually by the new owner.
There is no concept of marking an individual asset as private in Document Builder. Private assets are included in the migration. These assets are either shown to all users or hidden from all users, depending on the setting for the ASSET_SHARING_ENABLED variable in the Runtime Variables page.
