@Rizwan Ansari I haven't done this with Documentum but I have with other Document Management Systems. I used PowerShell to read the source document metadata (from the SQL database, but you can do this same for other data source types) and then upload the document to SharePoint Online and apply the metadata.
I've posted some details here: https://steveknutson.blog/2019/05/03/upload-files-to-sharepoint-library-subfolders-with-powershell/
Documentum has an API that could be used to access metadata and documents.

Hi@Rizwan Ansari ,
I don't know of a tool to do it but when we have been doing file transfers from 3rd party document management systems like eDocs for example we have always exported the files and meta data to a file store first then imported the documents using ShareGate. This made the process easier so we weren't reliant on some complicated custom scripts to get the files from one system into SharePoint.
In terms of timings for migrations and data integrity this method is a lot easier to manage.
Hope that helps.
Kind regards
Andy

@Rizwan Ansari the Proventeq Migration Accelerator does fill those requirements.
