Question

Is a workflow's change event triggered by moving a volume or migrating documents to a different volume?

asked on July 20, 2016 Show version history

I need to move all LF volumes (several terabytes) to a new server. Reading the "volumes best practice" white paper, it looks like the options are either to migrate via the client (so create a new volume in the new location and migrate entries to it), or changing the physical volume path to the new server (to trigger LF to move the files).

Can you advise me if doing either of the above will cause a Workflow 'change' rule to trigger?

Also, are the above two options the only / best way to migrate large volumes?

John

PS I'm using LF 9.0.3.798 and WF 9.0.2.245

It moves the files directly on the LF server machine, not through the admin console.

Workflows that are listening for the "Entry Migrated" event will fire if you migrate through the client. If you want to do the move all at once, your best option is to change the volume path. If you want to do it in stages and monitor its progress, use the client migration method.

Thanks - done a test on each and the change event only fired on the client migration, not the volume path change. Do you know if the volume path change moves the files direct from the old server to the new server (i.e. doesn't go via the PC running LF Admin client)?
