About Move, Archive, and Consolidate

Milan provides three different tools for performing Move, Archive, and Consolidate (MAC) operations: the web application, Billing To Milan, and Consolidator. While there is some overlap in functionality between the tools, each excels in specific situations, as outlined below.

Moving

• In cases where workspaces need to be moved between WorkSite libraries on a one-time basis, use the Move Workspace dialog, accessible from the web client.
• For large moves involving many workspaces, use Consolidator if you are familiar with SQL and time is an issue.

Archiving

• To archive workspaces to another database on a regular basis based on specific criteria, configure Billing to Milan to use the ArchiveInput script.

Consolidation

• When moving workspaces from multiple WorkSite libraries to a single library, use Consolidator.
