Checking that round trip editing works after migration

When you migrate IBM® Connections from 5.0 CR3 to 5.5, you must check that the round trip edit function still works.

Before you begin

If your Connections configuration has the IBM Connections™ Desktop Plug-ins for Microsoft™ Windows™ installed and configured, you can perform round trip editing on a file. This means that you can check out a file, edit it locally, and then check it back in to the Files app.

After migration is complete, check that the round trip edit function is still available.

Procedure

  1. Check that round trip editing is still available:
    1. Log in to IBM Connections.
    2. Open the Files app and upload a document file
    3. Click More next to the file.
    4. Verify that Edit on Desktop is available.
  2. If Edit on Desktop is not available, you must re-enable round trip editing. For more information, see Enabling round-trip editing for files.
