Migrating the datastore to the network shares

Migrate the docs_share and viewer_share directories.

Procedure

Back up the old locations where document data is stored:
1. From the web console of the old environment, find the path of the docs_share and viewer_share directories from Environment > WebSphere variables > DOCS_SHARED_DATA_ROOT and VIEWER_SHARED_DATA_ROOT.
2. Back up the entire docs_share and viewer_share directories.
Restore the document data to the new locations:
1. From the web console of the new environment, find the path of the docs_share and viewer_share directories from Environment > WebSphere variables > DOCS_SHARED_DATA_ROOT and VIEWER_SHARED_DATA_ROOT.
2. Copy the data store from the docs_share directory on the old server to the docs_share directory on the new server. Then copy the data store from the viewer_share directory on the old server to the viewer_share directory on the new server.
  Note: Be sure to copy the full directory of docs_share and viewer_share.
3. Delete the contents of docs_share/dataStore and viewer_share/dataStore on the new storage server.
