Clean Asset Source
The last thing we want is to move a bunch of unused assets to our new system. Whether you're migrating from another DAM or local CMS assets,
- Delete all unused or unneeded assets.
- Check if there are any assets that have expired due to agreements and should be removed.
Clean Source Optimizely CMS
- Delete / Empty and archived content. These content items could contain unneeded asset references.
- Delete any page or block content items that are not needed.
- Identify eny incoinsistancies with asset sources. For example, are some of your assets in a DAM system and others are local CMS assets.
- Identify if there are only certian CMS content nodes you would like to migrate assets from, otherwise the assets from the entire site will be migrated.
Investigation
- What version of Optimizely CMS are you using?
- What version of Image Vault's integration is installed? (if relivant)
- Do you have the CMS integrations installed for your target DAM? (if relivant)
- Do you have the Proxima DAM Migration Tool installed in your CMS?
- Have you recieved a valid license key from Epinova?
CMS Code Implementation
- How do you use images in code? Identify all properties that could contain assets that you wish to migrate. Note: This could include XHTML properties if you use images in TinyMCE.
- Identify any shared or inherited properties that could reference assets. For example, teaser or open graph images.
- Remember where these asset properties are referenced, these will be needed for the migration code implimentation.
