Hi
We use Documentum 6.5 SP3
We have some fom templates (Note - these are regular eForm templates and NOT TaskSpace forms)
We use mixed mode - i.e. some form infomation is saved in repository attributes and some in the XML
We have already deployed these form templates into the production environment and the users have created form instances.
We had to make some significant changes to the template afte going live and are wondering how we could migrate the updated form template from the TEST environment to Production.
The standard way would be to deploy a new Version of the Form template in the target repository but the challenge is that all users who would use the existing Form instances would see the OLD template and all users who create and use New Form instances will see the NEW template. This mix of templates would only get worse with time as more changes are made.
If we overwrite the existing forms template in the target environment then the existing form instances get corrupted!! This is more true with the mixed mode to save the form data. When all the form data is stored ONLY in repository attributes then overwriting form templates in the target environment does not seem to corrupt the existing form instances.
Is there a better way OR do we have to migrate all the existing form instances in PROD to the new Form template by writing some type of a script OR Job?
