Agile Process : Administering My webMethods Server : Using the Command Line to Manage My webMethods Server : Migrating a My webMethods Server Instance
Migrating a My webMethods Server Instance
Command Central uses the built-in migration utility of My webMethods Server to migrate My webMethods Server instances from an existing installation to a new installation. For more information about the My webMethods Server migration utility see Upgrading Software AG Products.
Before you migrate a My webMethods Server instance using Command Central:
1. Ensure that the My webMethods Server migration utility is available on the target My webMethods Server installation. Check for the migrate.bat file in the Software AG_directory \MWS\bin\migrate directory.
2. Ensure that the migration API for My webMethods Server is available in the migration namespace, using the sagcc list administration command. For more information about the sagcc list administration command, see Software AG Command Central Help.
3. You can create a zip file of the existing product instances to use as the source of the data to migrate. For more information about creating zip files for migration, see Upgrading Software AG Products.
To migrate the My webMethods Server instances, run the sagcc exec administration command with the required parameters to migrate the instances.
Command Syntax
*To migrate a My webMethods Server instance from the existing installation directory:
sagcc exec administration product node_alias productid migration migrate 
srcDir=source_directory_path 
instanceName=mws_instance_name 
importFile=migration_settings_path
where source_directory_path is the full path to the installation directory of the existing My webMethods Server installation, mws_instance_name is the name of the instance, and migration_settings_path is the full path to the migrate.dat file that contains custom migration settings.
*To migrate a My webMethods Server instance from a zip file:
sagcc exec administration product node_alias productid migration migrate 
srcFile=source_archive_path 
instanceName=mws_instance_name 
importFile=migration_settings_path
where source_archive_path is the full path to the zip archive file that contains the configuration and packages from the existing My webMethods Server installation, mws_instance_name is the name of the instance, and migration_settings_path is the full path to the migrate.dat file that contains custom migration settings.
For more information about the sagcc exec administration command, see Software AG Command Central Help. For more information about My webMethods Server-specific migration options, see Upgrading Software AG Products.
Examples when executing on Command Central
*To check whether My webMethods Server supports migration as a custom API:
sagcc list administration product local MwsProgramFiles
My webMethods Server runs in the installation with alias “local”. The product ID of My webMethods Server is “MwsProgramFiles”.
*To list custom administrative actions for My webMethods Server in the “migration” namespace:
sagcc list administration product local MwsProgramFiles migration
My webMethods Server runs in the installation with alias “local”. The product ID of My webMethods Server is “MwsProgramFiles”.
*To migrate all My webMethods Server instances installed under the product ID “MwsProgramFiles” in the installation with alias “local” on the Command Central server with url “http://localhost:8200/cce”, using the credentials of the default user and the password “manage”:
sagcc exec administration product local MwsProgramFiles migration migrate 
srcDir=C:\SoftwareAG 
importFile=C:\SoftwareAG\MWS\bin\migrate\MWSVersion\migrate.dat 
-s http://localhost:8200/cce -p manage
The migration utility uses “C:\SoftwareAG” for a source directory, and the migration settings from the migrate.dat file in the “C:\SoftwareAG\MWS\bin\migrate\MWSVersion” directory.
*To migrate the My webMethods Server instance with name “test1” in the installation with alias “local” on the Command Central server with url “http://localhost:8200/cce”, using the credentials of the default user and the password “manage”:
sagcc exec administration product local MwsProgramFiles migration migrate 
srcDir=C:\SoftwareAG 
instanceName=test1 
importFile=C:\SoftwareAG\MWS\bin\migrate\MWSVersion\migrate.dat 
-s http://localhost:8200/cce -p manage
The product ID of My webMethods Server is “MwsProgramFiles”. The migration utility uses “C:\SoftwareAG” for a source directory, and the migration settings from the migrate.dat file in the “C:\SoftwareAG\MWS\bin\migrate\MWSVersion” directory.
*To migrate all My webMethods Server instances installed under the product ID “MwsProgramFiles” in the installation with alias “local” on the Command Central server with url “http://localhost:8200/cce”, using the credentials of the default user and the password “manage”:
sagcc exec administration product local MwsProgramFiles migration migrate 
srcFile=C:\SoftwareAG\myFolder\mws.zip 
importFile=C:\SoftwareAG\MWS\bin\migrate\MWSVersion\migrate.dat 
-s http://localhost:8200/cce -p manage
The migration utility uses the archive file named “mws.zip” in the “C:\SoftwareAG\myFolder” directory for a source file, and the migration settings from the migrate.dat file in the “C:\SoftwareAG\MWS\bin\migrate\MWSVersion” directory.
