requirements:

(ACAN), the Content Migration Solution must be available as a
COTS product and have been formally released as ready to install
software product with no customization required.
2. The Content Migration Solution must extract document content
from the source Livelink system, specifically Livelink version
9.1.3 and the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise database.
3. The Content Migration Solution must not alter OSFI's Livelink
9.1.3 configuration. Specifically, no modules are installed on
the Livelink server configuration and no changes are required to
the :
a. Livelink Admin server configuration (opentext.ini file)
b. Livelink content database
c. Livelink external filestore
4. Core metadata values are automatically transferred from
Livelink 9.1.3 (source) to the SharePoint 2010 (target),
