I have been told there is a conversion tool that can be used to convert the files from XML to LPD. I'm sure there will be modifications needed on some of the nodes afterwards. Right now, I'm trying to find the converter tool and would like to know which nodes will need to be modified the most. Pitfalls and lessons learned would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Scott. The utility for doing this is named "migrateflows" and it is delivered with Landmark. If you search the Landmark InfoCenter for "migrateflows" or for "Run migration scripts" you will find the instructions.

This utility does a great job of converting the flow nodes from LSF to IPA. Many of our flows migrated without any issues - though you'll still want to do thorough testing.

Note that the "lpd" files are still in xml format, so it is easy to open them with a text editor to do search-and-replace and such, just as you can now.

Good Luck.

I found the batch (.BAT) and Java (.JAR) files on the server, but I couldn't find a document explaining the process. I copied those files to my local PC and tried to run them against the flows that I downloaded from the S3 process flow server with no luck. Do the scripts have to be run on the server? Do I still download the flows from the server?

The .xml flows need to be on the server. I created 2 directories:
/home/xxxxxx/PFI
/home/xxxxxx/IPA
I put the xml docs in /home/xxxxxx/PFI and ran this:

migrateflows –d /home/xxxxxx/PFI –t /home/xxxxxx/IPA

Worked great.
