Prepare to migrate the media gallery

The media gallery has been deprecated in Connections 5.0, replaced by the Thumbnail gallery. We cannot create a new media gallery. We can migrate the 4.5 media gallery to v5.0.

If we created an optional terms and conditions agreement for the media gallery or used a custom video player in 4.5:

1. Copy the string bundle files associated with terms and conditions agreement from the directory...
   customization_dir/strings

   ...used in Connections 4.5.

2. If we used a custom video player in Connections 4.5, back up the original enterprise application used.

   If we used the same naming conventions used in the Connections 4.5 documentation, back up CustomVideoPlayer.ear.

   1. Select the ear in the WAS administrative console.

   2. Click Export.

   3. Save the ear to the file system.

3. If we used a custom field renderer in Connections 4.5, back up the original enterprise application used.

   If we used the same naming conventions used in the Connections 4.5 documentation, back up CustomRenderers.ear.

   1. Select the ear in the WAS administrative console.

   2. Click Export.

   3. Save the ear to the file system.
