Migration from 10.1
3 Migration from 10.1
MIGRATING FROM 10.1 TO 3.2?
If you are migrating from Spotfire Analytics Server 10.1 to Spotfire
Server 3.2, you must first install a 3.2 server as described in the
previous chapters. When this is done, you can continue with the
instructions below.
Note: You must migrate the 10.1 information before you proceed to
configure the system and start the server. If the Spotfire Database
contains anything except what the database preparation scripts create,
the migration tool will not be able to migrate the 10.1 data to it. See the
section “Restoring a Spotfire 3.2 Database” on page 35 for more
information about this.
3.1 Overview
The migration tool is an application that transfers data from a TIBCO Spotfire
Analytics Server 10.1 database to a TIBCO Spotfire 3.2 database. It transfers the
information stored in the database, including users (if database authentication is used),
groups and licenses, the Library, and the information model. It does not transfer
deployments. Its intended use is to migrate data from a 10.1 database to a 3.2 database
in connection with a server upgrade.
Note: The migration tool cannot be used to keep a 10.1 and a 3.2 database
synchronized.
The target database, that is the 3.2 database, must be prepared, using the database
preparation scripts that are packaged with Spotfire Server. However, the database must
be empty before you can use the migration tool. If something is already stored in the
database the migration tool will not be able to to migrate the 10.1 data.
Users, groups, licenses, and configuration will automatically be stored in the 3.2
database, but the Library and the information model will be stored in export files that
can later be imported into the 3.2 database.
You can select whether to do a “full migration” or a “partial migration”. The latter
only extracts the library and the information model from the 10.1 database and puts
these items in export files.
You can also select to do a “test run”, meaning that all steps are performed, but no
actual data is written to the 3.2 database. Note that if you have selected “partial
migration”, this selection has no effect, as nothing will be written to the 3.2 database in
either case.
You can perform as many test runs as you want, and also as many partial migrations as
you want, but once you have performed a full migration you must empty the 3.2
database if for some reason you need to perform a partial or full migration again.
