MECHANISM FOR MIGRATING A FILE SEQUENCE WITH VERSIONING INFORMATION FROM ONE WORKSPACE TO ANOTHER

A mechanism is disclosed for migrating a file sequence from a first workspace managed by a first workspace management system into a second workspace managed by a second workspace management system. To carry out the file sequence migration, the mechanism does not implement a format conversion process. Instead, the mechanism invokes and exploits the functionality provided by the workspace management systems. By avoiding the format conversion process, the mechanism is able to carry out the migration process much more easily and cost effectively.
