Prepare the Old Installation

1. Install the latest product fixes on the old CentraSite, then start the old CentraSite.

2. If the new and old CentraSites are on the same machine, make sure the old CentraSite is shut down.

3. Export configuration data from the old CentraSite and assets from the old Registry Repository into a ZIP file. On the old machine, open a command window or shell, go to the old_Software AG_directory/CentraSite/utilities directory, and run the appropriate command below.

For Windows, run sbsExport.cmd full_path_to_ZIP_file

For UNIX, run sbsExport.sh full_path_to_ZIP_file

An example of this command for UNIX is as follows:

./sbsExport.sh /tmp/sbs_cs82_data.zip

If the old and new CentraSite installations are on different machines, copy the ZIP file to any directory on the machine that hosts the new CentraSite.

4. If you used metrics with the old CentraSite and want to migrate the old XML metrics objects, download the objects using curl to a file in your file system. A sample curl command is shown below.

curl -u user_name:password -F _querysearchmode=nonserialized -F _xql=*
-o metrics_file_name http://host:port/CentraSite/CentraSite/RuntimeMetrics

If the old and new CentraSite installations are on different machines, copy the metrics file to any directory on the machine that hosts the new CentraSite.

5. Shut down the old CentraSite. If the old and new CentraSite are on the same machine, shut down all old Application Server Tiers by stopping the Software AG Runtime services, then shut down the old Registry Repository by stopping its service.
