Migrate one instance to another

[bernd1]

Hi All,

we are currently planning to move our instance to another Provider,

The souce runs on Helsinki without domain seperation and the taget on Istanbul with a domain separation.

What could be the easiest way to migrate all data to the new instance?

I have thought about creating a Data Source for every table, but this is not the best solution..

Has anyone experience with a migration from one to another instance?

cheers Bernd

Hi,

I would suggest to clone your instance to a "Test" target instance.

If something goes wrong, you can ask for restore.

Regards.

Hi Francesco,

Cloning was my first idea, but doesn't the clone overwrite the release and the installed plugins on the target instance?

My Suggestion is:

1. First upgrade source instance from helsinki to istanbul

2. enable domain separation on this.

3. Now both the instances are Istanbul with Domain Separation

4. Now check plugins which you want to activate

5. Now migrate the chunk of update sets/functionalities and check whether it is working or not.

6. Repeat step 5 unless and until all functionalities should moved successfully.

Hi Bernd,

Instead of cloning, you can use Precision Bridge Instance Migrator to migrate over all or selected data from one instance to another while maintaining data integrity.  Can support migrating into a domain separated environment.
