Abstract
A network-based solution for processing unknown or unexpected property encountered during a migration or archiving operation may include, as embodied in various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, accessing a plurality of objects stored in memory of a source computing system. The solution may include performing a discovery assessment on each of a plurality of operator-selected objects. The discovery assessment may include examining a property associated with a document of each selected object and notifying the operator when the examination determines that the property is unknown or unexpected.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- in association with a data migration operation, accessing a plurality of objects stored in memory of a source computing system, at least a portion of the plurality of objects associated with a document;
- providing, in a graphical user interface, an identification of the at least portion of the objects associated with the document;
- receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of at least a subset of the at least portion of the objects;
- examining a property associated with the document of each selected object;
- generating an electronic notification when the examination identifies that the property is unknown or unexpected by a target computing system based on the property not currently being associated with at least one known property of the target computing system, wherein the property is unknown or unexpected when the property is determined to cause an error with the data migration operation;
- providing, via the graphical user interface, the electronic notification to indicate that the property is unknown or unexpected by the target computing system;
- providing, via the graphical user interface, an interface tool to map the property to at least one known property of the target computing system;
- receiving, via the interface tool, input to map the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system;
- responsive to receiving the input, mapping the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system;
- creating a rule for future use when encountering the property;
- electronically migrating the document from the source computing system to the target computing system based on the mapping of the property to the at least one known property, wherein migration of the document is initiated during examination of the property associated with the document;
- assigning the property as a known property of the target computing system for future mapping;
- and
- identifying a second document to migrate, the document including the property;
- and
- based on the assigning the property as a known property of the target computing system for future mapping and without receiving additional user input, mapping the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a computer program executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- accessing a plurality of objects stored in memory of a source computing system, at least a portion of the plurality of objects associated with a document;
- providing, in a graphical user interface, an identification of the at least portion of the objects associated with the document;
- receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of at least a subset of the at least portion of the objects;
- performing a discovery assessment on each of the selected objects, wherein the discovery assessment includes examining a property associated with the document of each selected object;
- generating an electronic notification when the examination identifies that the property is unknown or unexpected by a target computing system based on the property not currently being associated with at least one known property of the target computing system, wherein the property is unknown or unexpected when the property is determined to cause an error with a data migration operation;
- providing, via the graphical user interface, the electronic notification to indicate that the property is unknown or unexpected by the target computing system;
- providing, via the graphical user interface, an interface tool to map the property to at least one known property of the target computing system;
- receiving, via the interface tool, input to map the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system;
- responsive to receiving the input, mapping the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system;
- creating a rule for future use when encountering the property;
- electronically moving the document from the source computing system to the target computing system based on the mapping of the property to the at least one known property, wherein migration of the document is initiated during examination of the property associated with the document;
- assigning the property as a known property of the target computing system for future mapping;
- identifying a second document to migrate, the document including the property;
- and
- based on the assigning the property as a known property of the target computing system for future mapping and without receiving additional user input, mapping the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system.
12 more elements
A system, comprising:
- an application server communicatively coupled between a source computing system and a target computing system, the application server having instructions stored in memory, wherein the application server is configured to:
- receive a selection of at least a portion of objects associated with a document;
- examine a property associated with the document of each selected object;
- generate an electronic notification when the application server identifies that the property is unknown or unexpected by the target computing system based on the property not currently being associated with at least one known property of the target computing system, wherein the property is unknown or unexpected when the property is determined to cause an error with a data migration operation;
- cause a graphical user interface to provide the electronic notification to indicate that the property is unknown or unexpected by the target computing system;
- cause the graphical user interface to provide an interface tool to map the property to at least one known property of the target computing system;
- receive, via the interface tool, input to map the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system;
- creating a rule for future use when encountering the property;
- responsive to receiving the input, map the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system, wherein the document is moved from the source computing system to the target computing system based on the mapping of the property to the at least one known property, wherein migration of the document is initiated during examination of the property associated with the document;
- assign the property as a known property of the target computing system for future mapping;
- identifying a second document to migrate, the document including the property;
- and
- based on the assigning the property as a known property of the target computing system for future mapping and without receiving additional user input, mapping the property to the at least one known property of the target computing system.
