Hi,

I have steped in between of manual migration process for pro-e WF 4 + intralink 9 to creo 2 + WC Pdmlink 10.2.

ONe of our guy was expert any doing the migration of around 30,000 WF files i.e. Prt, asm, drw.

steps:

1. Open wf4 in session of Intralink add the assemblies to workspace where dependent = required.

2. In Workspace select all file do export from workspace and choose local directory to export.

3. Go to Creo 2 Windchill 10.2 session workspace perform import to workspace and perform checkin

this scenario is Ok when doing first time.

now here comes the issue I am facing, migration is done for 24000 files and now the delta of. 5000 files is remaining which is for last 6 month in Intralink 9.

when I search for last modified files during 180 days it results in 1000 files.

now when I am following the steps 1&2 above, I have around 5000 files in workspace coming because of dependent = Required.

now there are about, 90 assemblies 100+ drw and rest is Prt and Some family tables.

when I randomly search for these part numbers in WC 10.2 common space there are already available.

now when Import 100 part Asm with part and family tables i.e. exported files to Creo 2 Wc 10.2 session workspace I can see the modified locally Icon in workspace.

i Selected all and do Update action, in the screen nothing is getting stricked out which was expected, I am bit confused now in order to take these files in Windchill 10.2 common space.

need you guys suggestion and advice to handle this situation.

thanks,

RAhul

Why use manual "migration" rather than an upgrade from 9.x to 10.x? Importing the database and copying the vault avoids all this.

Rahul,

What if you select the objects in the workspace and select Add to Workspace? In the Add to Workspace window make sure that you use the Download option rather than Reuse so that the files already existing in commonspace will overwrite what's in your workspace.

The safest way to handle family table objects in this situation is to checkout the entire family table, if possible, and check in after importing the family table from Intralink.
