Migration

If you currently use HATS LE V4 and you want to migrate your HATS LE V4 application to HATS LE V5, you must do so before upgrading to HATS LE V5.

If you upgrade without exporting your HATS LE V4 .zip file, you will lose your application. There is no auto-conversion from a HATS LE V4 application to a HATS LE V5 application.

Note:
If you have HATS LE V4 and HATS LE V5 installed on the same machine, you will not be able to run both applications at the same time because they will share the same URL.

Migration from HATS LE Version 4

If you currently have HATS LE V4 installed, you will first need to export your application before you can migrate it into HATS LE V5. To export the HATS LE V4 application from the HATS LE Administrator Console into a .zip file:

  1. Start the HATS V4 LE Administrative Console by entering the following URL in your Web browser: http://<server_name>/HATSLE/admin where <server_name> is the name of the server machine where your HATS V4 LE application runs.
  2. Select Advanced
  3. Select Migrate
  4. Download and save as a .zip file

Once you have successfully exported your HATS LE V4 application, you will then need to install HATS LE V5. For more information, see Installing HATS LE.

After you have upgraded, you will use the HATS LE V5 Administrative Console to upload and then migrate the .zip file that you packaged using the above steps.

Note:
Your migrated templates and stylesheets will be redesignated with "_v4le" appended to the original name. Change the desired older templates to use the newer stylesheet style references before using in production. You can have both HATS LE V4 and HATS LE V5 installed on the same server at the same time, but you can only have one up and running at one time.

Migration from HATS LE Version 5

If you eventually want to move your application to the full HATS V5 Studio, you can export a HATS LE V5 application to a standard HATS V5 application:

  1. Start the HATS V5 LE Administrative Console by entering the following URL in your Web browser: http://<server_name>/HATSLE/admin where <server_name> is the name of the server machine where your HATS V5 LE application runs.
  2. Select Advanced
  3. Select Package
  4. Download and save as a .zip file

The generated .zip file (placed in a publicly accessible directory of the Limited Edition application) can then be downloaded and imported into HATS V5 Studio using the import wizard available in HATS Studio.

Note:
This zip can only be imported into version 5 of HATS Studio.
