Migrating a Hypertrieve vault to Oracle

To migrate an existing Hypertrieve vault to Oracle:

1. Create a new vault as described in Creating a new vault using the options described in the following table.

2. Confirm that the migration was successful by checking the new vault for:

• Total number of documents equal to the source vault
• Existence of prior revisions
• Correct status of work in progress documents
• Documents are visible in the Meridian viewer
• Custom configuration items

3. To prevent users from accessing the old Hypertrieve vault instead of the new Oracle vault, delete the Hypertrieve vault in Meridian Administrator.

After the migration is done, the new vault is ready for use.

The migration can take a significant amount of time, depending on the size of the Hypertrieve database and the number and size of the stream files. The size of the resulting Oracle database will be about 2.5 times the size of the source Hypertrieve database and can be seen in Windows Explorer in the location specified for the Path for database files property of the vault.
