Migrating from Documents to DMSF

IMPORTANT: Please create a backup before you begin

The plugin provides a rake task to migrate from the default Redmine Documents module to DMSF.
Usage: rake redmine:dmsf_convert_documents RAILS_ENV="production"

This is the default invocation. It goes through all projects and all those having Documents module active and DMSF inactive are converted.

Conversion of each project

• Activates DMSF for project
• Creates folder for each document in Document module
• Creates file for each document attachment in corresponding folder
• All descriptions are transfered to DMSF
• Redmine’s Documents module is deactivated

These options can be used in the rake task

• project => id or identifier of project (defaults to all projects)
• dry => true or false (default false) to perform just check without any conversion
• invalid=replace => to perform document title invalid characters replacement for ‘-’

Test the conversion on a project called “test”

rake redmine:dmsf_convert_documents project=test dry=1 RAILS_ENV="production"

Again: Backup your current content before you try to migrate documents!
