While migrating tenant data without ARIS databases, backup the databases separately. Administrators have multiple options for manually backing up databases: In ARIS Server Administrator using the backup or backupasn commands, in ARIS Designer using the Backup functionality in the pop-up menu of a database.
When migrating data, the new database schema is applied and the content is migrated. The databases are optimized on the fly. As the optimization can be time-consuming, only the workspace content of databases will be optimized automatically. If required, change lists can be optimized later.
Prerequisite
You log in as a system user.
Procedure
You can start ARIS Server Administrator from any computer on which the ARIS Client or ARIS tools are installed either in interactive mode (Start > Programs > ARIS > Administration > ARIS Server Administrator) or command-line mode by opening the command prompt from the directory <ARIS installation directory>\server\bin\work\work_abs_<s,m or l>\tools\arisadm\arisadm.bat. In command-line mode you can perform actions automatically as there are no prompts in this mode.
Syntax: server <server name>:<port number> <tenant> <user name> <password>
backup <dbname>|all <archivedir> [-p <password for encryption>] [<alternatename>]
for example:
backup myARIS9database d:\backup
or, as recommended:
backup all d:\backup
backupasn <dbname> |all <archivedir> <asn> |head|work [-p <password for encryption>] [<alternatename>]
The database is backed up. Back up all required databases on all tenants as well.
Warning
Make sure that the ARIS 10 relevant tenants have already been migrated, before restoring the databases.
backupsystemdb d:\backup
restore <dbname> |all <archivedir> [-p <password for encryption>] [<alternatename>], for example:
restore d:\backup\myARIS9database.adb
or, as recommended:
restore d:\backup
restoresystemdb d:\backup\arissystemdb.adb
The database is migrated. If it is a versioned database the workspace content is optimized.
You are recommended to optimize the change lists of versioned databases as well. To do so use the prepareoptimizedb ARIS Server Administrator command.
