Word Perfect 6 to RTF Migration IF Service

There is a very first test available for a emulation based Word Perfect 6 to RTF file migration. A PLANETS web service running in Freiburg could be invoked by OPF partners running a PLANETS instance by adding an external resource. Just add the WSDL file of UfcMigrate http://132.230.8.85:8080/psuite-pa-ufcmigrate/UfcMigrate?wsdl The URL will change over the time when moving to a production server machine. You might need to reconfigure your PLANETS instance by cp server/default/data/planets/dom-config/* server/default/conf/planets/server/default/data/planets/ and restart afterwards. Otherwise a download of the migrated object would not be possible. See Isgandars blog entry for some more technical background and the link to his thesis describing it in depth.

Added to the Testbed, but…

I registered your new service in the Planets Testbed (see here), but unfortunately that machine appears to have run out of disk space and I can’t yet invoke the service via the Testbed. I’m hoping we’ll be able to fix this soon.
