Hi

I am new to Migration Process. Please let me know what what are the steps we need to follow for the migration process in unix box.


Thanks

Bhanu,

The installation guide should give you all the information you need to do a migration. In addition, for some releases there are supplemental migration documents that you should look at.

Also read the Summary of New Features document from cover to cover.

Remember migrations not only include migration of the software and configuration pieces which the installation guide will walk you through but also includes product behaviour changes. That is what the SofNF will tell you.

I am reading installation manual also .meantime i want to know just overview like what are the files we need to copy from old version to new version like that.


Thanks

In my opinion, there is no "overview." Having just gone through a migration to 7.6.9 on Linux, the process is complicated and just "copying over some files" will get you in a lot of trouble. The only files that you can really "copy over" are those in your application directories and even then those may require additional changes (like if you change connection names.)

I would do as Ginny suggests and stick with the installation guide. Go through EVERY section in it and follow the steps completely and you should be OK. Taking shortcust will only cause you grief (and wasted time.)
