Running the Conversion Program
The conversion program (P98MOHTM) walks you through the conversion process and provides general status information. When you open the program, the Convert Media Object RTF to HTML text form appears.
Conversion to HTML text format is permanent and cannot be reverted back to RTF format. The default number of records for a batch conversion is 100,000 records, which you can change. The minimum number of records you can define for a batch conversion is 100 records.
To convert RTF media objects to HTML format:
From an EnterpriseOne web client, type P98MOHTM in the fast path.
The Convert Media Objects from RTF to HTML text form appears.
On Convert Media Objects from RTF to HTML text, select the appropriate data source, and then click Start Conversion.
The system generates messages that:
Confirm the data source.
Warn you that the conversion is permanent.
Recommend that you backup the F00165 table.
Explain how to view and edit the RTF text in the HTML editor.
Select the agreement option, and then click OK to continue the conversion process.
Click Back to change the data source.
The system displays the progress status for retrieving the records from F00165.
When the system finishes retrieving the data from F00165, it displays a conversion page that shows:
Total number of text type attachments.
Total number of attachments that have been converted to HTML.
Number of text attachments that need to be converted.
Define the number of records to convert by selecting one of these options:
All--to convert all of the remaining text attachments to HTML.
Change Batch Size-to specify a group of records for batch conversion.
The default number of records for batch conversion is 100,000 records, which you can change. The minimum number of records you can define for batch conversion is 100 records.
From the drop-down list, select the group of records that you want to convert.
Note: The Change Batch Size drop-down list shows the conversion status (Complete or Partial) for a group of records. If a record in the selected batch fails to convert, a status of partial appears beside that group of records.
Click Convert.
The system displays the progress status during the conversion process.
When the system finishes the conversion, it displays a page that shows the results of the conversion:
Conversion Completed-indicates the selected batch conversion is finished.
Selected Batch Size-the number of records defined for this batch conversion.
Number of RTF attachments converted.
Number of errors while converting the text attachments.
If one or more records could not be converted, a link to Server Manager is provided. Click the link and sign into Server Manager to view the conversion errors.
On the conversion results page, select Close.
This action returns you to the analysis results page (discussed in Step 5) that is updated with the latest conversion information.
On the conversion page, do one of the following:
Select the All option and click Convert to convert all of the remaining RTF attachments.
Select the Change Batch Size option, define the number of records to run in the batch conversion, select the next group of records that you want to convert from the drop-down list, and then click Convert.
Click Cancel to exit the program.
