After you have converted the Knowledge Pathways database and content root structure, you must convert the content. The conversion process imports the content into the Developer and then publishes it to the Knowledge Center. To connect to the Knowledge Center server, you must know the URL to launch it and have the user name and password of an account with sufficient rights (manager or administrator) to import content.


Warning: The conversion utility only converts the published copy of the title in Knowledge Pathways. Any titles still in development, that is, in the local folder in the content root, will not be converted.


The conversion utility is located in the Developer. You can convert all titles at once or choose specific titles. If a title has already been converted, it appears in grey in the list, and it cannot be selected again.


To convert Knowledge Pathways content, launch the Developer and then:

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Convert and choose Knowledge Center Content. Click Next.
     
  2. In the log in dialog box, click Add, enter the URL of the server that contains the content to be converted, and click OK.
     
  3. Enter a user name and password and click OK.
     
  4. Select the titles to be converted and click OK.

Note: Once you have completed converting the content, you have the option of running a script to consolidate the upgraded database and remove tables, stored procedures, and other items that are no longer needed. See Consolidate the Database in this manual for more information.
