eFileStore is the depository of all uploaded documents within PICS. The number of files can range from tens to thousands. The replication uploads a slow trickle of these documents over time from your servers to Pellcomps. This page attempts to detect if you are currently logged into the server running the eFileStore service based on the IP address of the eFileStore URL. Because replication from on-premise installs to the Pellcomp hosting platform is a new feature, it is likely that you will need to download the latest eFileStore installer using the link provided within the migration tool (Latest Version Download) to upgrade your on-premise eFileStore. The earliest version of eFileStore that will work with the migration tool is 15.30.10.10. You can do this upgrade while people are using PICS, however, any attempt to access or upload a file while the eFilestore service is not running will result in an error. All files and data currently there are preserved, as the service being upgraded is separate from this data. Once eFileStore is at the correct version the eFileStore Config application can be launched using the button provided (you may need to press the [F5] key to refresh the page).
On the Replication tab, click the Replicate to Pellcomp Hosting button. Then . You will then be prompted to enter the Provider Name. Enter your organisation's name here so that we can identify who the data sent to us is coming from. Select OK to continue then click the Save all settings button. If you receive an error saving the settings you will need to close the tool and start it again using Run as Admin permissions.
When prompted you should restart the eFileStore services as the changes will not take effect until the services are restarted.
Replication will normally take several hours, days, or weeks depending on the number of files, so keep an eye on Replication Progress from the File Data tab. If replication stops progressing close to 100% then there may be a few files that can't replicate. You can report on these replication issues using the Launch eFileStore Health Check app button.
Once the eFileStore config tool is closed the wizard will progress to the Zip and upload stage. |

- FileDrop - A zip file is generated, it is up to the user to upload the zip to Pellcomp's s FileDrop website and and click Notify Pellcomp once the upload completed.
Click the Zip and Upload button. Progress of gathering files and uploading them to Pellcomp is displayed on the bottom status panel.

For the live migration, you will need everyone out of PICS. |
You should be prompted when the Database has been uploaded successfully to Pellcomp.
When performing the live migration, you should also get the following prompts:
- Do you wish to make the on-premise Database Readonly? - You should do this unless there is very good reason to still need to access the data in edit mode, any changes will have to be redone once on hosting.
- Do you wish to lock on-premise PICS so only you can access it? - Ideally, this would be done to ensure no confusion about what database to use. However, you may need to have others access the data for vital business operations. If this is the case we would strongly recommend ensuring the database is read-only. from the prompt before.

Enter the FCA Web Service URL provided to you by the Pellcomp implementation team. Once this setting is saved, all incoming FCA connections to your on-premise PICS will be instructed to redirect to the Pellcomp hosting URL. There is also a link to a guide on how to manually set up redirects in IIS. This option is useful if you intend to immediately archive or disable internal access to your PICS database.
