Migrating case attachments to a repository

Reduce the size of your Pega database and improve performance by migrating your application's case attachments from Pega database storage to a repository.

Before you begin: Ensure that the pzAttachmentMigrationProcessor queue processor is running. In Admin Studio, click Resources > Queue processors, and then click Start in the State field for pzAttachmentMigrationProcessor.
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click Configure > System > Release > Upgrade > Attachment Migration.
  2. In the Repository field, select the repository to which you want to migrate case attachments.
  3. Click Browse, navigate to the folder on your repository that you want to use for case attachments, and click Select.
  4. Click Start Migration.
  5. Click Refresh to update the display.
Result: When the migration is finished, the results include how many files migrated. For the files that were not migrated, the work object ID is displayed along with a description of the error that you can use for troubleshooting.
What to do next: Ensure that the repository that the files were migrated to is the same as the repository being used for new attachment storage. For more information, see Configuring external storage options for attachments.
