Abstract:
1. A data migration apparatus that migrates document data from a first document management system to a second document management system, wherein the first document management system is capable of setting an access right in document units and folder units, and wherein the second document management system is incapable of setting an access right in document units and capable of setting an access right in folder units, the data migration apparatus comprising: a determination unit configured to determine whether an access right, which is set in the first management system, to the document data inherits an access right to a higher-level folder or is unique to the document data; a sub-folder creation unit configured to create a sub-folder at a migration destination in the second document management system if the determination unit determines that the access right to the document data is unique to the document data, wherein an access right to the created sub-folder in the second document management system is the same as the access right, which is set in the first document management system, to the document data; and a document storage unit configured to store the document data in the sub-folder created by the sub-folder creation unit.
