Hi,
i'm upgrading from sharepoint portal 2001 to sharepoint portal 2003,
and understand i need the backwards compatible library for my 2001
documents until i can migrate them into sql server. However i am
confused by the .chm file which also refers to optional components for
the backward-compatible document store. Can anyone tell me whether
this is something i need in order to manupulate and manage the
documents i import into the backwards comp doc library? Or is this
just an optional component to install if you fancy using a web store
but have no 2001 documents to import, but i will already have it as
long as i perform the upgrade correctly, and install the BCDL?
Also if i added custom fields to a document profile and populated
these fields for documents, will this data be accessible in the BCDL?
The upgrade doc :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/office/office2003/deploy/upgrdmigrate/spST2003.asp
matches the .chm, but the .chm (microsoft office sharepoint portal
server 2003 administrators guide) in the Upgrading from Microsoft
SharePoint Portal Server 2001 section has a Quick Installation Guide
section which mentions the Installing the Component for
Backward-Compatible Document Libraries under the installing microsoft
office sharepoint portal server 2003 on a single computer section. I'm
hoping i don't need to perform this extra step? can anyone help? or
answer the profile fields question? thanks in advance.
Alex
