Upgrading your Inboxes configuration (upgrade only)

Tridion Docs 15 introduced some changes to the XML of the configuration for Inboxes. If you've upgraded Content Manager from a release earlier than Tridion Docs 15, transform your existing inbox configuration XML from old format to new format by running a Powershell script.

About this task

The script assumes to find your old inbox configuration XML file in the folder C:\InfoShare\Web\Author\EnterViaUI\. If you would like the conversion to occur in another folder, you can edit the script to change the path.

Procedure

  1. On your installation media, go to the folder __Resources\InfoShareScripts\Upgrade140xTo1500\.
  2. Copy the script ConvertInboxConfiguration.ps1 to your Content Manager server machine.
  3. Run the Powershell script.
    The script reads Admin.XMLInboxConfiguration.xml and creates a converted file Admin.XMLInboxConfiguration.converted.xml in the same folder.
  4. Replace your existing XML inbox configuration in the Content Manager database with the contents of the converted file. You can do this in one of the following ways:
    • In the new Organize Space user interface, go to Settings > XML Settings > Inboxes. Clear the XML content you see, and paste the contents of Admin.XMLInboxConfiguration.converted.xml into it. Then select Save to apply the change.
    • Write a script that replaces the XML in the database with the contents of Admin.XMLInboxConfiguration.converted.xml, and run it.
