Hello,
We have 700.000 docs (around 3.5 MM pages) to migrate from Default Volume to Archived Volumes, and every day we are receiving around 1.000 new docs that must be archived after 3 months.
My problem is that the current Document Migration process is too slow for that scenario, and we are not capable of finishing the job within the time-window available for this task. If we run the migration during working hours, all the users start complaining of the slowness of the system, and the non-working time is used between automated processes, backups, etc. So I only have 4 hours available per day for the migration.
The client is ready to add more resources to speed up the process, but I must tell them which resources are the most relevant for this goal.
So my questions are:
1. Is the Volumes migration happening only at the server level, or also at the client? If only at the server, I will not save time using many clients machines in parallel. But if there is part done at the client level, maybe running the migration from many PCs will improve the result.
2. Which is the order of relevance between the following resources to increase the Documents Migration performance?
a. Number of Processors
b. Number of Cores
c. CPU speed
d. RAM
e. Disk speed
f. Bandwidth (assuming that all the disks are in a SAN)
3. Would it be faster if Migrating entries using Workflow, SDK or the normal Client interface?
4. Is there any other factor that could speed up or down the migration process?
For your reference, we are still working in LF version 9.2 since the upgrade to v.10 must go through a long internal approval process.
Thank you for your advice and best regards,
