Migration strategy

This section describes the automated and manual migration processes for this functionality.

Automated migration processes

Automated migration occurs when the manageApprovalGroup API is invoked and the API detects an approval group that is not associated with the existing approval plan for the enterprise. In such cases, the API migrates the existing approval plan to the Default_Group approval group for the given enterprise and document type. The manageApprovalGroup API is called when an existing approval plan is modified or a new approval plan is defined.

Manual migration processes

None.
