3.2.2.2: Migrating configurations manually

Manual migration might be necessary if either your current installation or your Version 4.0 installation requirements vary too much from assumptions made by the product installation program. This article outlines the first and last steps of the overall product migration process, as follows:

  • Before upgrading the product, save the current configuration and back up necessary files.
  • After upgrading the product, restore the configuration.

Saving the current configuration

You can save the current configuration by using either of the following:

  • Version 4.0 migration tools. This technique exports the existing repository and saves the necessary files. This method is recommended over the alternative, because logic is provided to save the correct files in the structure required by the other migration tools.
  • The Version 3.x XMLConfig tool.
