11.2.1.  Empty Files

This allows control over the migration processing of source items that are empty (0 byte).  There are three options: -

• Do not migrate, mark as failed – This will not attempt to migrate the item, instead immediately marking it as ‘failed’.
• Migrate item as is – (default) This will attempt to migrate the item.  Depending upon whether the item is a version of an item, the target system may allow the item to be migrated successfully.
• Replace empty content with placeholder text – This option allows the content of these 0 byte items to be replaced with placeholder content based upon its type so Word, Excel,PPT and text.  You’ll find existing template placeholder files in C:\Proventeq\Placeholders\default.  When a 0 byte item needs to be migrated its content will be replaced with the placeholder content based upon the relevant file type so an empty Word document is replaced by a Word document containing placeholder content and so on.  Using this feature allows all source to be migrated regardless of content size.

NOTE: These placeholders files can be edited if required.  We recommend that if edits are made to these placeholder files that they are saved into C:\Proventeq\Placeholders\override and PMA will process these in preference to the default location. Otherwise, any changes to placeholders in the default location may be lost if the PMA software is upgraded as the installation would overwrite these existing files.
