Migration

[Aashish Ranjan Chaubey]

Hi,

I have my all documents(.doc) with having images are in Sharepoint, I am looking to migrate to confluence.

I need to have some idea, as I do have huge number of documents needs to be migrated.

Thanks

Its possible to access Sharepoint Via WebDAV (as a drive) and then with some relatively simple script loop all files and create Confluence pages with attachments.

But using Confluence as a file-storage is not they way it should be used, You might as well stay on Sharepoint or choose Alfresco instead.

You can also choose to "extract" the content of the .doc files an create pure Confluence pages from the text, but the content will suffer some stuff, partly depending on the extractor quality. 

Anyways - after that little lecture, it could be usefull for You to use this https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli to support the adding to Confluence, for both of the described ways.

BR,

Thanks Norman for your quick suggestion.

I fully agree with your suggestion "Confluence as a file-storage is not they way it should be used".

I actually need my sharepoint doc files to be changed to Confluence friendly and upload those to Confluence dynamically from my LOCAL PC. Since I do have more than thousands of documents and want to make my Confluence as baseline.

I am in need of "extracting the content of the .doc files an create pure Confluence pages" dynamically, in my document there are images as well.

Could, you please suggest me any API so that I can write consume in .NET code and get it done. Okay if there is any tool which can make work easier.

Thanks

Hi - I have no knowledge of any goodways to import word files as content - my guess is that the best way could be:

word -> html -> Confluence

Good luck

Thanks again for your quick response, I have written the script to get the HTML of my documents, and its working well.

Could you please suggest me how to push all my converted HTML documents to confluence with automation.

Thanks

You can simply enable the HTML macro and apply the content within that. 

Or again, look into https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/266177968/Actions

Action LoadFiles - Load directory and files into a page hierarchy. HTM, HTML, and text files converted to pages. All other files added as attachments.
