migrate-xbrl
This command migrates taxonomies from the previous taxonomy store (created for pre-2026r2 Altova products) and installs them in the new taxonomy package store (for Altova products of version 2026r2 and later). If an entry-point URL in the old taxonomy store contains one of the submitted names, then the taxonomy package corresponding to that entry-point URL is installed in the new taxonomy package store.
Syntax
<exec> migrate-xbrl | xbrl2tp [options] NAME?
The command's optional argument is a list of space-separated names.
Options
The migrate-xbrl command takes the following options:
--all-installed, --i | Install all the taxonomies of the old store as taxonomy packages in the new store. Boolean. The default is false. |
--test, --t | Show the taxonomy packages that would be installed, but do not install. Boolean. The default is false. |
--user-folder | Use the user package folder. Boolean. The default is false. See below for details. |
--verbose, --v | Display detailed information during execution. Boolean. The default is false. |
--help, --h | Display help for the command. |
Note the following points:
•All the options take Boolean values and their default values are all false. The default value is the option's value when the option is not specified on the command line. If the option is specified without a value, then it is considered a short form of the option with a value of true. For example, --i is the short form of --i=true. See the examples below.
•The --test option is useful for querying what packages will be installed before actually migrating. See the examples. The --test option would also provide a warning if the taxonomy package corresponding to a taxonomy in the old store is not available. If, in such a case, a migration is attempted (without the --test option), then an error would be reported.
•The user package folder is the package store in the user's home directory (C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Altova\pkgs). By default, Taxonomy Package Manager uses the global package store in C:\ProgramData\Altova\pkgs. If users do not have write permissions to the ProgramData folder, they can install packages in their own user folders.
