Migrated PVM to RDM and lost attachements
Hi,
First, this might be wrongly placed. In that case, I do apologize for that.
After a few years of successfully running RDM and PVM side by side we now decided to migrate over to only RDM. Followed the really easy export -> import guide only to find that (all?) attachments seems to be missing after import. After studying the export file from PVM there is no traces of any attachments. Maybe this is a feature and not a bug, but in our case we have over 2500 entries some with attachments and manual migration would just not work.
However, It seems like certificates are handled just fine together with all the other entry types!
Is there a workaround for this?

Hi aste,
During a data migration from one data source to another, the attachments will be missing.
You would need to save your attachments from your previous data source on your computer (or network) and recreate the attachments in your second data source.

Hi,
Tnx for the quick reply!
Is there technical reason for attachments not being exported? I can't find any disclaimer about attachments not being exported anywhere (I have looked).
Oki, so the attachments are not being exported and if I interpret your answer correct, it's a feature. Right? So now I'm facing a lot of manual work to migrate the attachments. I've tried to find a way to get a report of how many of the 2500+ entried have attachments, but can't find one.
Any tips of how to workaround my issue?

Hello Aste,
sorry for my late reponse.
The export of documents and attachments was not possible with the previous version of RDM, however this will be possible in the next beta release of RDM.
