In preparation for the complete shut-down of the DMS and the old database of titles, the process of migrating titles and index entries mapped in the DMS into the CadMap database that supports the Plan Creator and Plan Viewer (PV) is almost complete.

Current information

Phase 1 of the process started in October 2021 with the migration of titles from 4 counties into the Cadastral Map database. The final 4 counties were migrated in March 2022 . 99.68% of titles were successfully migrated to the Cadastral Map database.

Phase 2 of the process is ongoing and is being tackled in 3 stages:

  • Stage 1 will see the removal/migration of live applications - complete.
  • Stage 2 will see the manual correction of DMS errors - ongoing, last few titles being worked on.
  • Stage 3 will migrate all remaining spatial data (indexes and RCIL register) - on-going, with RAs, TPOs & BUFs migrated first.

As a consequence of this, all titles must now be edited within Plan Creator.


How to identify a migrated title

The origin of all titles created in the DMS or Plan Creator can be checked in the PV using the History tab.

Classifications

The Unknown classification show that the title was moved over automatically from the DMS, not that it is still a DMS title.

Once a migrated title has been edited in the Plan Creator, the Unknown classifications will be replaced with the classifications selected by the plans officer.

No plans references will show on the Title Information tab

Classifications will be fully defined.

Summary

Migrated titles will show a new application type, MG or MGM and will have a Plan origin of PC. This application type will allow you to identify migrated titles and the provenance of their base map after migration:-

MGM – No basemap updates affect this title

MG – The title needs basemap updates performed to it.

Classifications will be Unknown until edited by a plans officer in the Plan Creator.

These titles are identified by the last plan origin showing as DMS.

Non-migrated titles will not show any plan references on the Title Information tab.

These titles will show a plan origin of PC and will have a last application type that is not MG or MGM.

Classifications will be fully defined
