Having trouble upgrading from classic

I have a HUGE project that I've been editing in RH 2019 Classic (though it has been developled over MANY years). But now our IT guys say I need to upgrade it to regular(?) RH 2019. I've let it run overnight twice, and it still only makes it through about 10%. It looks like it's hung, and it's still using almost 18% of my CPU.

 

I have no idea what to do. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

By "regular" I take it you mean the New UI.

 

  1. Is the project local?
  2. Define huge. You may be right but so many times I have heard that and back comes the answer that is has a thousand topics, not huge. Number of topics and number of images is more useful.
  3. Are a lot of the topics and images in the root of the project or are they mostly in folders?

  1. Is the project local?
    • Yes. I was running it a network drive, but I copied it to my C: drive to do the upgrade.
  2. Define huge. You may be right but so many times I have heard that and back comes the answer that is has a thousand topics, not huge. Number of topics and number of images is more useful.
    • Ok, so not huge by your standards.  About 700 topics. I don't know how many images there are (I recently took over the project), but I would say it's very "image lite." The whole directory is about 380 MB (screenshot below).
  3. Are a lot of the topics and images in the root of the project or are they mostly in folders?
    • All the topics, images, PDFs, and video files are in the same directory as the project file. The only folders in the project are in the screenshot below.

  1. First back up your Classic project somewhere safe.
  2. In Classic, move the topics to a number of folders.
  3. Close the project and try upgrading again.

There is a known issue with large numbers of topics and images in the root of the project when upgrading. If you don't want to do that, there is an update due soon and I believe that will have the fix in it.

Ok, I'll give that a try. What is the maximum number of topics I should have in a folder?

There isn't a maximum specified, the issue is having them in the root. Try with say 100 but that's a random number.

Do I have to move them into folders inside the app? There's no multi-select option, and it's going to take a LONG time to move them one by one. It would be far easier to just move the files directly; I'm just not sure that's ok to do.

Go ahead in Explorer if you want to totally wreck your project. My recommendation is to explain the problem to IT and get them to agree to wait for the next update. That will automatically move everything without wrecking it.

You can move topics in bulk using the Topic List pod. have it floating and you can drag and drop topics onto the folders you create in the Project Manager pod.
