Moving documents over from 7.13 > 8.5

Hullo

I’ve got a situation in which i can’t perform the upgrade from 7 > 8 - I’m moving the information over methodically and i’m at a position now where it’s come to document uploads.

I have successfully imported the following
documents
documents_contacts
documents_revisions

This has left me in a position where the correct documents are showing against the contact.

When i follow the links to the document and click the actual “document.pdf” it shows this cannot be found (as expected)

What must i now do to put those documents back so suite8 can follow the document URL to the physical document?

Is it just a case of zipping the upload directory in the Suite7 folder and then unzipping that zip file into

/var/www/html/suitecrm/public/legacy/upload

Within the suite8 structure?

Many many many thanks for your time and attention to this :slight_smile:

Answered my own question with the solution.

Solved for anyone else doing the same :slight_smile:
