How to perform a Capture migration

This page provides information on how to conduct a proper migration of a Capture solution.

These steps must be executed after a proper Workflow Migration has been completed. Instructions on how to do such can be found here: How to perform a Workflow migration.
Failure to do so will result in unexpected problems.

Note: It is recommended that you first update your PlanetPress Suite to version 7.6 before cross-grading to OL Connect.

Steps to migrate:

  1. Update existing installation to PlanetPress Suite version 7.6 if not already done.
  2. Install OL Connect Workflow 2023.2 on the same computer.
  3. Do the following for both PlanetPress Suite version 7.6 and OL Connect Workflow 8.
    1. Open Workflow Service Console. This can be done either via the Windows Start Menu, or from within Workflow Configuration application (via menu option Tools > Service Console).
    2. Select Messenger in the tree list, right click and select Stop from the context menu.

    Note: These steps must be done for both PlanetPress Suite Workflow 7 and OL Connect Workflow 8.

  4. Copy the file PPCaptureDefault.mdb from this folder:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 7\PlanetPress Watch\capture"
    to this folder:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\capture" and overwrite the existing database.

    Note: Prior to PlanetPress Suite 7.6, all Capture patterns, documents and several other details were contained within the one single database. As of PlanetPress Suite 7.6 a separate database has been used for the patterns alone (PPCaptureDefault.mdb).

  5. Copy the contents of this folder:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 7\PlanetPress Watch\DocumentManager"
    to this folder:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\DocumentManager".
  6. Copy the contents of this folder:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 7\PlanetPress Watch\PGC"
    to this folder:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\PGC"
  7. Restart the OL Connect Workflow 8 Messenger. To do this,
    1. Open Workflow Service Console. This can be done either via the Windows Start Menu, or from within Workflow Configuration application (via menu option Tools > Service Console).
    2. Select Messenger in the tree list, right click and select Start from the context menu options.
  8. Contact your local Upland Objectif Lune activation team and transfer any Pen(s) licenses across.

Using OL Connect Workflow 2023.2 on a different computer to PlanetPress Suite 7.6

Tip: It is safer to migrate outside high peak production since the Capture solution cannot be run in parallel on two computers.

Once the Capture database has been transferred to the new computer, any update made to the old computer will be lost unless the steps to migrate are reproduce again.

Once a Pen has been docked and the data transfer done, its memory is wiped, thus rending the parallel mode very hard to produce. It is not impossible, but describing how it can be done is beyond the scope of this migration article.

Steps to migrate:

  1. Update existing installation to PlanetPress Suite version 7.6 if not already done.
  2. Install OL Connect Workflow 2023.2 on new computer.

  3. The Anoto PenDirector must be installed. It if is not, you can download it from http://www.objectiflune.com/OL/lib/Common/Downloads/PlanetPressCaptureResources/AnotoPenDirector.zip and then install it.

    Note: It is strongly recommended that you install the latest version of the PenDirector.
    Please use the link provided on the previous line.

    Do not get any other version of the PenDirector from the Anoto website, as they will not have been set up correctly for our Capture solution.

    Note: Prior to installation, make sure you unplug the Pen docking station from the USB port on the computer where you are about to install the Anoto PenDirector.

  4. Do the following for both PlanetPress Suite version 7.6 and OL Connect Workflow 8.
    1. Open Workflow Service Console. This can be done either via the Windows Start Menu, or from within Workflow Configuration application (via menu option Tools > Service Console).
    2. Select Messenger in the tree list, right click and select Stop from the context menu.

      Note: These steps must be done for both PlanetPress Suite Workflow 7 and OL Connect Workflow 8.

  5. Copy the file PPCaptureDefault.mdb from this folder on the PlanetPress Suite 7.6 computer:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 7\PlanetPress Watch\capture"
    to this folder on the new OL Connect Workflow 2023.2 computer:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\capture" and overwrite the existing database.

    Note: Prior to PlanetPress Suite 7.6, all Capture patterns, documents and several other details were contained within the one single database. As of PlanetPress Suite 7.6 a separate database has been used for the patterns alone (PPCaptureDefault.mdb).

  6. Copy the contents of this folder on the PlanetPress Suite 7.6 computer:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 7\PlanetPress Watch\DocumentManager"
    to this folder on the new OL Connect Workflow 2023.2 computer:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\DocumentManager".
  7. Copy the contents of this folder on the PlanetPress Suite 7.6 computer:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 7\PlanetPress Watch\PGC"
    to this folder on the new OL Connect Workflow 2023.2 computer:
    "C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\PGC"
  8. Restart the OL Connect Workflow 8 Messenger. To do this,
    1. Open Workflow Service Console. This can be done either via the Windows Start Menu, or from within Workflow Configuration application (via menu option Tools > Service Console).
    2. Select Messenger in the tree list, right click and select Start from the context menu options.
