RTC 2.0x to RTC 4.0x


Karen Steele (1.2k4139148) | asked Aug 15 '14, 1:04 p.m.
Can I use the repotools fileExport to create a tar file on a 2.0 instance and then import it into a 4.0x instance ?

Hi Karen,

I cannot see how this would be possible.  I found some old info on 2.x -> 3.x and you would need to run many other steps to complete the upgrade part of the repotools -export toFile=exported.tar.

repotools-jazz -import fromFile=exported.tar
repotools-jazz -addTables
repotools-jazz -migration_exportJTSData toFile=jtsData.tar
repotools-jts -migration_importJTSData fromFile=jtsData.tar createMappingFile=rtc-mapping.txt createTables
repotools-jazz -migration_importUserMapping fromMappingFile=rtc-mapping.txt
repotools-jazz -rebuildTextIndices
repotools-jazz -reindex

this is not an exhaustive list, but merely an example.  As it is not possible to migrate directly from 2.x -> 4.x, I cannot see how this manual process would work either.

I see you answered a forum post in 2009 with the "fileExport" command, but I cannot find any reference to this in the repotools infocenters, or any reference internally.  Did I miss something?

Thanks,
Paul
