retagged Feb 24 '17, 4:48 p.m. by Ken Tessier (841●1●7) Hello,
I have done several CLM upgrades and migrations over the last 9 years. I am thinking of two scenarios I would like to discuss how we could do this.
1) Moving CLM 5.0.2 from iSeries to Windows 2012 server. Public URI will not change, the DB2 server will not change.
(In olden days we need to rebuild the indices or copy all the indices. *** The part is while we do this we will migrate from Full WAS to Liberty Profile.
2) Upgrading from CLM 4.0.2 to 6.0.3 (all Windows) and at the same time migrating from DB2 to SQL Server or as two steps.
Thanks
RK

Secenario 1 See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/MigratingCLMToANewEnvironment, https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/BackupCLM for backup. The issue here is the different architectures especially for at e databse. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_migrate_dbs.html for how to migrate DB's - basically you will have to export the DB and then import it.
Scenario 2 is basically an upgrade and explained in the interactive upgrade guide. One step in the upgrade would be similar to scenario 1.
Comments Thanks for the response.
2) Copy the Teamserver.properties, *.rdf & log4j.properties, the indices directory and LDAP settings from IBM i to Windows 2012 servers for RM, CCM etc.
BTW, the backup procedures are almost very old. Is there a more updated version of Backup for CLM 502 & 603? Backup: There is not, except additional nodes there are not a lot of changes I am aware of. I use the same strategies successful for years now. If you don't have a proven backup and restore strategy yet, I would suggest to hurry up and get one.
I would suggest to test the upgrade is actually working, before you do the final one. You can use Liberty, you should make sure to understand Liberty and the settings you need e.g. LDAP, so run a test setup.
