Migrating from a Solaris or AIX Contenta Server
To migrate from a Contenta 4.2 or earlier Server on Solaris or AIX to Linux, migrate all of your customized adapter files, custom tools and custom triggers.
Procedure
- Use the delivered Contenta installation and upgrade documents to install Contenta 5.6 on your systems, including the Linux 5.6 Contenta Server.
- Copy and save (back up) the delivered encaps/ subdirectory of your Contenta home directory installed on the new 5.6 server.
- In the bin\ subdirectory of your Contenta home directory, examine the file pdm.cshrc for paths, system identifiers and/or any other customizations. You can find customizations more easily by comparing pdm.cshrc to the corresponding file on the Linux Server, pdm.cshrc. Copy any customizations you find from pdm.cshrc to pdm.cshrc.
- If you connect to an Oracle database, in the bin\ subdirectory of your Contenta home directory, examine the file pdm.cshrc.ora for paths, system identifiers and/or any other customizations. You can find customizations more easily by comparing pdm.cshrc.ora to the corresponding file on the Linux Server, pdm.cshrc.ora. Copy any customizations you find from pdm.cshrc.ora to pdm.cshrc.ora.
- If your Contenta Server contains custom tools and triggers (that is, files) under the encaps/ subdirectory of your Contenta home directory, migrate those files also. To find such files, check for files in your encaps/ directory that are not present in the corresponding Linux Server location.
- If your Contenta Server contains customized adapter files that need to be migrated to Linux, migrate them. To find and identify these files, do the following:
