Completing the Migration

  1. Disable the prior server configuration. This action prevents the server configuration from being started and accessed accidentally.
    1. In the Server Administration tool, select the prior server configuration.
    2. Click the Disable Server button or choose Actions > Enable Server . The status icon to the left of the server configuration name changes to a disabled icon.
    CAUTION:
    Both the old and the new server configurations access the same vault, cache, and attachments folders. However, they do not access the same database. Continuing to use the prior server configuration will lead to vault verification errors and must be avoided.
  2. Empty the Cache folder for the hive before starting the new server configuration. By default, the Cache folder is a child folder of the hive folder, under the repository root folder.
  3. After verifying that the new configuration works correctly, delete the:
    • Prior server configuration
    • The database that it used
  4. (Optional). The Z99 table is a temporary table that records the progress of the database migration. If the migration process stops before completing, it uses the Z99 table to determine the point at which it should resume the migration when you restart the process. If your migrate process did not complete properly, you can review the following columns to determine how far the migration process has progressed.
    • Column 1 contains the source table name.
    • Column 2 contains the ID of the last record copies.
    • Column 4 contains either a Y or N, indicating whether the table copy is complete.
