Downloading Laserfiche Form After Completion

Forms

Updated April 11, 2024

asked on April 11, 2024

We have a customer who has moved from on prem to Azure. During the migration on of their repository databases got corrupted. The customer enquired on whether there is a way by means of workflow and an SDK script to call the forms database and redownload the completed forms in the same way the save to repository task did and then to save the form to another repository. The customer does have the attachments and metadata of the form, they just need the form that was saved to the repository to be saved again as a PDF.

You could download each one manually using the print function under the instance history in the Monitor tab.

Or you could create a workflow to retrieve each business process variable, re-invoke the form, and have your process save it directly to your repository instead of going through each approval again.

Also, there may be a SQL query you can run against the database. Unfortunately I don't have that information.

I want to step back for a moment and make sure we're not dealing with an XY Problem here. This is a request on how to implement a very specific technical solution to an aspect of a scenario with all sorts of broader red flags.

Can we get some more details about this "repository corruption during migration"?

How, very specifically, did they attempt to migrate the repository database that got corrupted? I've overseen at least a dozen on-prem to Azure migrations at this point and written a whitepaper on hosting Laserfiche in Azure and have never heard of that happening.

What exactly was corrupted where? How are saved forms but not their attachments and metadata in the repository screwed up?

Is there an intact pre-migration source repository database left?

If you still have the underlying PDFs in the repository volumes and a copy of the original uncorrupted repository database, that likely provides the best recovery route.
