I would like to check the feasibly of doing the migration not using the standard migration tools specified in the Windchill upgrade guides but by simply extracting all my cad documents from intralink 9 into flat or XML files along with contents and then write loader programs to import them into respective container and sub folder in the newly installed Windchill 10.2. The source cad documents in intralink 9 are cad documents product structures checked in from proe wildfire. Is this feasible? What caveats to look out for when programmatically create the usage links in the target epm documents. And do we need special treatment for cad objects which are family tables, part occurrences with their respective ref designators, etc etc.
Any past experiences with this style of migration. I am new to the windmill 10 migration and reading the upgrade guide, I only have some 70 percent confidence.
Thanks.
