Before migrating a Keyword Type Group to a Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group, create a backup of the database and have all users exit the system.
A Keyword Type Group can be migrated to a Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group after it has been created.
The following considerations should be made prior to performing the migration:
-
Keyword Type Group migration is not currently supported in databases using 64-bit integer fields.
-
The migration process cannot be undone.
-
You cannot choose to migrate only certain Keyword Types to the Keyword Type Group. All Keyword Types assigned to the Document Type are migrated as one group.
-
You cannot have an existing Keyword Type Group assigned to the Document Type.
-
Multiple instances of a Keyword Type cannot exist on documents in the migrating Document Type. If multiple instances of a Keyword Value exist on one or more doucments included in the migration, please contact Hyland Software Database Services.
-
During migration, any Keyword Types that exist on the Document Type, but are not defined in the Keyword Type Group will be lost.
-
Any Keyword Types that exist in the Keyword Type Group, but are not Selected for the Document Type, are retained in the Keyword Type Group with null Keyword Values.
