Abstract

The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for supporting migration of unstructured data stored in enterprise content management systems. A computer-implemented method includes generating a search for content matching at least one content search rule, receiving a list of matched documents, wherein each document in the list of matched documents is associated with at least a source repository identifier and a unique document identifier, calculating a target repository identifier and at least one metadata change instruction for each unique document identifier using at least one migration rule, and modifying metadata for the document associated with each unique document identifier using the calculated at least one metadata change instruction.
