ILM Migration: change ILM WebDav Store Provider

[tilo-sap]

Hi,

what are our options to change the ILM WebDav Provider/Vendor.

For example we currently use OpenText and want to change to IBM (both BC-ILM certified)

Can we use a SAP driven/controlled migration?

Can we migrate the data & metadata on the "back end" and just change the ILM Store URL to the new provider?

This post mention to use the ILM File Conversion:

I assume this would mean all ILM controlled files need to be read back (From old provider e.g. OT) to SAP and stored again (new provider e.g. IBM)

@revathimpwould love your input as you seem the expert on this.

well @tilo-sap the Blog describes, how the activate the ILM-Store. However, I have my doubts that there is an automatic ILM Provider Migration.

hello @tilo-sap 
it is up to you and I suppose that SAP had foreseen to change the WebDav Provider by advance.
When SAP doesn't work do make something not happen, they make it complicated, no offence.

@tilo-sap and @revathimp

you can use the onboard ILM WebDav Provider aka ILM Store as well.

have a look to the online Document - SAP ILM based on SAP IQ Database and you will see that SAP IQ is the key.
