Hi Docebo Community,
I have looked all over online and in the community, and before I come back to a stakeholder and have to be the bearer of bad news and tell them “no, sorry we can’t help you migrate these old files from your old Oracle “LMS type system” to Docebo” … i figured I would ask the question here.
Has anyone ever had to migrate content from an old Oracle / JD Edwards system? The files are “ODARC files” which when used on an Oracle system that can play the files, basically shows some 2010’s-style job aids and screen recordings of how to use various software systems when played on this other system.
here’s the notes on ODARC and these UPK files from Google search FYI 😉
An ODARC file is a compressed developer archive used by the Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK) to store and transfer exported documentation, training content, and outlines between different libraries.
What is an ODARC File?Purpose: It bundles related documents, topics, and training modules from Oracle UPK into a single compressed file format for easy backup or transfer.Usage: You can import an .odarc file directly into another UPK library without needing to unpack it first.Editing: If you need to change raw files inside the archive manually, you must extract and recompress the package using Oracle's command-line tool, OdArc.exe.Conversion: Third-party digital adoption platforms like Epilogue Opus provide converters to transform legacy Oracle UPK .odarc files into modern, editable in-application guidance.
This ask from the stakeholder feels a bit like digitizing some VHS tapes (everyone loves family movies from the 80s and 90s), but I wanted to explore all options before putting the kibosh on it!
Thanks in advance,
Ben from Nashville 🤠
