Upgrading Templates

When you upgrade to Contract Management from a version earlier to Contract Management 7.0, you must upgrade all of your templates. The following items are updated by the Migration Manager to support the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) field:

  • All template records, including clauses.
  • All clause references are updated to point to the UUID instead of the Salesforce ID
  • Document properties
  • Term Exceptions
Note:

Although Term Exceptions are also updated with UUIDs, they cannot be automatically migrated. You have to copy these term exception records from the source to other orgs (if multi-org ecosystem is involved) by data loader or other means after the upgrade.

Prerequisites

  • Close all Microsoft Office products before running an upgrade.

Upgrade templates

Ensure that you have administrative access to the Migration Manager and that your system meets the necessary requirements for the upgrade.

    If the above action is successful, the Manage Connections window closes and returns you to the X-Author Migration Configuration Wizard. If you do not connect successfully, verify that you have entered the correct username and URL.

  6. Click Next to display the Upgrade Summary page and click Finish.

The upgrade runs and displays the progress for each template that is updated. Each upgrade creates a log file which you can review to see the specifics for the upgrade.
