Migrating Old Case Memo data

From TIBCO iProcess Engine 11.5, all the new memo data associated with the memo fields is saved in the nmemo and pack_nmemo tables and stored in the BLOB data type rather than the LONG RAW data type.

Note 

This is only for SQL Server and Oracle databases.

To migrate old case memo data from the memo table to the nmemo table and from the pack_memo table to the pack_nmemo table if upgrading TIBCO iProcess Engine from version 11.4 or earlier, enter the following command:

swutil MIGRATEMEMOS ALL_CASES|LIVE_CASES|casenumrange|[commitSize]

where:

• ALL_CASES specifies all cases of a procedure.
• LIVE_CASES specifies all live cases of a procedure.
• casenumrange specifies a range of case numbers, for example, case_num1-case_num2.
• commitSize specifies the size of the batches in which memos will be migrated. The default value is set to 100 (preferred), and the user can specify it, if required.

The following example migrates the old memo data for all the cases:

swutil MIGRATEMEMOS ALL_CASES.

Note 

You can also migrate old case memo data if upgrading TIBCO iProcess Engine from version prior to 11.5. See "Installing TIBCO iProcess Engine" in TIBCO iProcess Engine Installation for more information

Warning 

IMPORTANT!

While upgrading, migration is not required, as old and new memo data can co-exist. For large volumes of memos, it is recommended to delay migration until a high volume of the old memo cases have been purged.

Migration can take a long time, so TIBCO recommends to run a pre-production test run with live volumes to ascertain the expected time.
