Migrate is a pay-as-you-use conversion service. Prepaid credits are made available on your portal. When you upload a document to the portal, Migrate analyzes it and determines a cost, in credits, for your document. Depending on your portal configuration, various document artifacts will be chargeable, such as:

• tex
• convert images
• formulae

The charge for a document is shown in the dashboard on the Documents page. A finer breakdown of the credit charges for a document is shown in its document details page. Once you accept the charges for a document, you are free to work with it as much as you’d like. You can convert, adjust conversion rules, and download the document as many times as necessary. You will never be charged again for that document.

You can access a credit use report to see how credits have been used on your portal.

Once a document is uploaded, Migrate analyzes and discovers many things about it. This allows Migrate to determine the credit cost of the document. For more information on how credit works see credits. For more information about Migrate’s analysis of your documents see viewing Migrate’s analysis of a document.

Procedure

1. 1. Go to the Documents page.
   2. Select the documents for which you would like to accept charges.
      • The credit cost for each document is listed in the Credits column of the table. If the number is black, credits have already been accepted. If the number is red, credits have not been applied to the document.
   3. Click Accept Charges.
      • Migrate will never charge you more than once for a given document. Even if you accidentally select documents that have already been paid for, and click on Accept Charges, Migrate will be sure to skip those documents.
      • A dialog box containing summarizing the credits to be used is displayed.
        
   4. Review the information presented in the Confirm Credit Usage dialog.
      • Press Accept to apply credits.
      • Press Decline to back out.

Result

• Credits have been deducted from your portal and the Credit Summary sidebar has been updated to reflect this.
• The credit cost for the selected documents now appears in black, rather than red.
• You may now work with these documents, assigning them rule sets and targets, viewing them in the rules editor, and converting and downloading the results.

A basket is simply a container in which you may place documents. This allows you to reduce the clutter that can build up in the dashboard as more and more documents are uploaded. A document may only belong to one basket at a time, though it need not be in any basket at all.

Baskets are commonly used to organize documents based on:

• the user responsible for the document
• workflow status (e.g. completed versus in-progress)
• the documentation set to which it belongs
• a combination of the above

Example: basket names

• • Benjamin’s documents
  • Model TX4000
  • Model TX4000 – in progress
  • Model TX4000 – completed

To guide the conversion of your document, you must create a rule set. The rule set instructs Migrate as to how various aspects of the input should be treated during conversion to the desired target format. A rule set is simply a named collection of rules. Rules are described in detail in the Rules Editor section of the Migrate documentation.

To edit a rule set, you use the rules editor (see Opening the Rules Editor). To manage your rules you use the dashboard. From the dashboard, you can:

• clone rule sets,
• delete rule sets,
• associate rule sets to documents.

Before you begin

Depending on the type of document you are uploading, you may need to prepare a package for your document. Details are provided for each document type under the Dashboard reference:

• anatomy of the dashboard
• structure of a FrameMaker book upload package
• structure of a RoboHelp upload package

This topic explains how to upload documents to your portal.

Procedure

1. Go to the Upload page.
2. Click the Select Files button, and select files to upload. You can upload a single file or multiple files at this stage, and you can upload multiple file types at the same time. If you want to upload all files in a given directory, for example, you can select all files in the File Upload window and then click the Open button.
3. Choose the file type from the combo box for each file you have uploaded. The options available will depend on your portal’s configuration.
4. Click Upload when you have finished selecting file types for all of your documents.

Result

The document(s) will start uploading to your portal. The upload(s) will be finished when the upload dialog(s) have all disappeared. Once uploaded, Migrate will automatically analyze your document(s). Go to the Documents page to see your document(s).

If you have selected a current basket, your upload(s) will be placed in that basket for you.

FrameMaker documents must be uploaded in the MIF interchange format for processing by Migrate. When uploading a book, all constituent chapters as well as the book file itself must be in MIF format.

The zip file must contain the following files.

It is possible that your portal requires that additional files be included in the upload package due to customer-specific configuration.

It is not necessary to include image files with your upload.
