This manual describes the process for migration of a PPM client from PPM 9.x and PPM 10.x to PPM 10.4.
The procedure described is based on Windows systems with the corresponding Windows specifications. The process can also be used on a Linux operating system.
There are some specific differences in handling between Windows and Linux systems:
No program groups are available under Linux. Instead, you can use scripts to start and stop the required PPM components (for example, a PPM client) and infrastructure components (for example, ARIS PPM Cloud Controller). Information on using the required scripts can be found in thePPM Installation Guide.
Under Linux, you can use an appropriate file manager instead of Windows Explorer.
Use a slash / instead of a backslash \.
Under Linux, script files have the extension .sh instead of .bat under Windows.
To execute scripts, under Linux you reference the directory bin instead of bat under Windows.
The Migration Guide is aimed at the PPM user who acts as the system administrator.
