Getting Started with Adeptia Data Migration Tool

PREREQUISITES 

The pre-requisites of using the Data Migration utility are outlined as:

• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6

• The database of the Adeptia Server should be running. In case of HSQLDB, you need to ensure that the
kernel is running, as it activates the backend database of the server. In other databases, the kernel is not
required to be running, however if it is running, it will not affect the migration utility.

• Ensure that no objects are created or modified during the Migration process

STARTING ADEPTIA DATA MIGRATION UTILITY 

You can run the Migration utility on:
• Server
• Desktop

The Migration utility is either bundled with Adeptia Server or it can be downloaded or purchased separately. To run it on a desktop, you need to copy the utility explicitly on the desktop.

It is recommended that you run the utility on the Adeptia Server, as some parts of the utility
can be run on the Server only.

When we run the utility, the system creates a log file in the same location as the utility file. Each time you run the utility; this log is appended. Data Migration Utility can be started in GUI Mode or in the Console mode.

Starting Data Migration Utility 

Steps to start the Data Migration Utility

1. To start migration utility bundled with Adeptia Suite, go to ./bin folder where Adeptia Suite is installed.
2. For Windows OS double click the MigrationUtility.exe file. The Adeptia Migration wizard is displayed

For Linux OS, type the following command:
./migrationutility.sh -console

3. Click Next. The following screen is displayed below.



4.Select the build environment and click Next. The Select Action screen is displayed

Note: Select the Standalone Build if the Adeptia Server is installed in standalone mode and select 
WebSphere Build in case the Adeptia Server is deployed on WebSphere Application Server. 
In case you are using Migration Utility for WebSphere build, you need to do some changes 
related to backend database in Server-Configure.Properties file. To know how to change 
Server-Configure.Properties file.


5. Select the appropriate radio button and click Next. The subsequent screens are displayed based on the selected  option. If you select Environment promotion option, refer to Environment Promotion section. If you select the  Migration option, refer to the Migration section. If you select the Patch Update, refer to the Patch section.  Starting Migration Utility in Console mode  Using Migration Utility in console mode is similar to that of using it in GUI mode with minor differences. Just the  initial startup is explained in this section.  Steps to start the Migration Utility in Console mode  
1. Open the command prompt and change to the Migration Utility folder. 
2. Run the following command to start it in console mode. The Migration Wizard starts (see Figure 1). 
java –jar Migration.jar -console 

3.Select the appropriate option to go to the next step. For example in the above screen, to select STANDALONE  BUILD, type 1 and press ENTER.
