Question

Metadata error in migrations - would mass updating work?

Laserfiche Administration Installation and Upgrades

Updated April 22, 2020

asked on April 22, 2020

We are implementing Laserfiche and migrating data from another product. When the data comes over from the old application, it is translated into LF as 1/1/1753 when it is blank or has NULL in the field in the old application.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this once in LF? Would a mass update be the best way? Would a workflow be another option?

A workflow that searches the repository for the field with that date and then sets it to blank would likely be your best bet.

Jennifer, by mass update I'm guessing you you mean in the SQL database? If so, it is never recommended to make changes directly in the SQL database. I would make the same suggestion as Jim to create a Workflow that would perform the changes you are looking for.
