Preparing to migrate the media gallery

The media gallery has been deprecated in IBM® Connections 5.0, replaced by the Thumbnail gallery. You cannot create a new media gallery, but you can migrate your 4.5 media gallery to version 5.0. Prepare your terms and conditions agreement and any third-party video player that you use. These features were both optional, so you might not use them.

About this task

If you created an optional terms and conditions agreement for the media gallery or used a custom video player in 4.5, then follow these instructions:

Procedure

  1. Copy the string bundle files associated with terms and conditions agreement from the customization_dir/strings directory that you used in IBM Connections 4.5.
  2. If you used a custom video player in IBM Connections 4.5, then backup the original enterprise application that you used. If you used the same naming conventions that were used as in the 4.5 documentation, then back up the CustomVideoPlayer enterprise application (ear).
    1. Select the ear in the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console.
    2. Click Export.
    3. Save the ear to the file system.
