Migrate JDBC connections

You can import the JDBC connections of MashZone (versions 9.5 to 9.12) into ARIS.

Procedure

  1. Copy all drivers located in the jdbcdrivers folder of MashZone to the jdbcdrivers folder of ARIS and restart the ARIS server.

  2. In MashZone, export all JDBC connections to be migrated. For details, see the MashZone online help.

    The exported JDBC connections are stored as MZP files, starting with A_DATABASE….

    The files are stored in the following folder:

    <MashZone installation>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\work_mashzone_m\mashzone_data\importexport

  3. Copy all MZP files starting with A_DATABASE... into the dbconnections subfolder of the importexport folder of ARIS:

    <ARIS installation>\mashzone\data\importexport.

  4. Start the ARIS server if not already done.

  5. Open a command shell in the bin folder of the ARIS installation and execute the following command.

    migrationtool -user system -password manager -folder dbconnections

All JDBC connections from the dbconnections folder are imported into ARIS.

If want to migrate a connection using a JDBC driver that consists of multiple JAR files, you must create a new driver JAR that bundles all the individual files into one single file. Then you must copy the created JAR file to the ARIS installation.
