Configure and Migrate after Software Upgrades

Follow these steps to configure your DataFlux Data Management Server after software updates and to migrate security information from the previous version to the new version.
CAUTION:
Do not remove or uninstall the previous version until after you migrate your security settings and objects.
Make sure that all changes to users and groups are applied to the access control lists in the new version of the DataFlux Data Management Server.
For an overview of migration issues, see “Upgrading Existing Installations of the Software” in the DataFlux Data Management Studio: Installation and Configuration Guide. See also the SAS Guide to Software Updates.
  1. Migrate your SAS Metadata Server (see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide) or DataFlux Authentication Server (see the DataFlux Authentication Server: Administrator’s Guide.)
  2. Run the SAS Deployment Wizard to install the software update for the DataFlux Data Management Server.
  3. Run the SAS Deployment Wizard a second time to configure the new instance of the DataFlux Data Management Server.
  4. Copy your jobs, services, ACLs, and WSDLs from the previous version of the server to the new version. Copy entire directories and subdirectories, such as C:\Program Files\DataFlux\DMServer\2.6\var\data_services.
  5. Transfer the security configuration from the old server to the new server. Transfer options in dmserver.cfg and copy user and group permissions from C:\Program Files\DataFlux\DMServer\2.6\etc\security\.
  6. Import profile jobs into the new repository.
  7. Create user and group command permissions to match those of the previous version.
  8. Create ACL permissions for jobs to match those of the previous version.
  9. Test the new server.
  10. Uninstall the old server if it is no longer in use.
