We are in the process of switching 120K files from DBWorks to EPDM. It looks like it is going to take 7 days for the migration to complete. That is a lot of down time for Engineering. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what was your experience like? What did you do about the down time?
Are you using any migration tool for this?, if not what are the major components in this migration? (1. All revision or Latest revision, 2. File Types, 3. Any Legacy Data, 4. Revision specific or configuration specific repeationship, etc).
In General Migration from one system to another system will be carried out by offline. Once all the data get migrated an update migration (Delta Migraion) will be done for the affected file during the full migration process. The approximate time required to do the Delta migration will be 2 day (Done in Weekend), it may varry based on the affected file size.
