11.3. Transform Warning
If the option ‘Update Embedded Links’ is selected in General Settings then this warning message below may be displayed at the top of the processing screen and the option “Step 4 – Migrate to Target” cannot be selected. This is because for embedded link updates to be successful, the target URL for ALL items must first be determined by running up to Step 3- Transform for all items first, so that then as items are migrated these embedded links in the content can be updated to contain the new URL for these linked to items (even if at this stage these links refer to items that may not have been migrated yet).
Running Step 3 – Transform may not be successful for all items. If after investigation, it’s confirmed that it’s not possible for all items to be successfully Transformed then select the ‘Load’ option in the Advanced section within General Settings as this will allow the ‘Step 4 – Migrate to Target’ option to be selectable. Using this Load option obviously means that any embedded links to these items that have failed to be transformed will not be updated and therefore the documents will keep their existing legacy links which will not function once source system is unavailable.
