Prepare the Old Installation
1. Shut down the old installation.
If the product is running... | Take this action... |
As a Windows service | Shut down from the Windows Services window. Services are listed as Software AG product release. |
As a Windows application | Shut down from the Windows start menu. Applications are listed as Software AG > Stop Servers > product . |
On a UNIX system | Use the shut down instructions in the product documentation for your old release. |
2. If you stored data files in a directory other than the default (that is, old_Software AG_directory/MashZoneNG/mashzone/data/resources) and you want to migrate those data files, move them into the default directory.
3. If you stored RAQL UDFs in a directory other than the default (that is, old_Software AG_directory/MashZoneNG/raql-udfs) and you want to migrate those UDFs, move them into the default directory.
4. If your old and new installations are on different machines, create a ZIP file of the old product installation to use as the migration source. The instructions in this section use the Java Archive tool to create the ZIP file. Specify the location of the Java Archive tool in the JAVA_HOME and PATH system variables on the machine that hosts the old product installation. The tool is located in the Software AG_directory/jvm/jvm/bin directory. On some systems, the lower-level jvm directory name includes additional information, such as /jvm/jvm160_32, or /jvm/jvm170, or /jvm/jvm_64.
a. On the product’s old machine, open a command window or shell.
b. Go to the Software AG directory that contains the old product and enter this command:
jar cfM mzng.zip MashZoneNG
c. Copy the product’s ZIP file to any directory on the machine that hosts the new product.
Important:
If using FTP to copy, use the binary file transfer mode\type. If you use another mode\type, the ZIP file might become corrupted.
