Purpose
Data storage for links in MIC has been changed (now: Knowledge Provider(KPro)). You can use this program to migrate existing links.
Once migrated, the old links and the Links tab page are no longeravailable in the Web applications for MIC. You find the migrated linkson the Documents and Links tab page. This is where you can alsoadd new links after migration.
For a smooth migration process, we recommend performing migration at atime when no other users are working in MIC.
If a large number of links need to be migrated, we recommend performedthe program in the background.

Prerequisites
To perform the program, you need authorization for authorization groupFOPCB.

Features
The migration process can be repeated as often as required. The systemstores a log that enables you to analyze any errors that occur.
You can perform migration in two modes:

• Add: The system does not check whether links have already been migrated
and simply adds new links that have been migrated to those that weremigrated previously. This mode runs more quickly that the Replace mode.However, links that are migrated twice then appear twice in the KPro.

• Replace: Before migrating links, the system checks whether the KPro
already contains the same links from a previous migration (for example,a failed migration run) and then deletes these links in the KPro beforerepeating the migration. If a link has been changed by a user in themeantime, it is not overwritten.
