In general, migration of databases, schemas and data is not
required when moving from Tamino 8.x or 9.5 to
Tamino 9.7. It is only necessary to set the version
of any existing version 8.x or 9.5 databases to version 9.7 by using the
SET VERSION command on the database in the
Tamino Manager.
If you need more information about migration, please refer to the following:

Last-minute information
Check for important last-minute information relevant for migration in
the readme.txt file.
The following definitions are used throughout this document:
Migration means the transfer of a Tamino system from an older to a newer version, or from one machine to another. The target system may have the same architecture and operating system or different architecture and operating system. Migration includes both upgrading and also all other activities to accommodate changes in the structure and organization of Tamino schemas, data and applications so that the newer version of Tamino can be used as efficiently as possible.
Upgrade means the process of transferring a
Tamino database from an older to a newer version.
This includes all activities necessary for making the database operational
under the new version, but not optimization. Upgrading is done using the
SET VERSION command (see the section
Upgrading and Downgrading Using
SET VERSION).
Downgrade means the process of transferring a
Tamino database from a newer to an older version.
This could be used if, for example, you install the new Tamino version on a
test basis but wish to return to the older version for production purposes. See
the section Upgrading and Downgrading
Using SET VERSION for more
information.
Tamino 9.7 requires its own license file which is delivered with the product. Tamino 9.7 does not work with a license file from any of the previous Tamino version.
The following steps are necessary in order to migrate Tamino databases from Linux 32-bit Linux to 64-bit:
Make backups of applicable databases in the 32-bit environment
Install a 64-bit Tamino version on a 64-bit Linux machine
Transfer the backup files (<PRODUCT_DIR>/db/*.1B0) to the 64-bit Linux machine
Restore databases via Create Database From
Backup.
For more information see section Create a Database from a Backup.
