INFORMATION
When upgrading from a 6.0.X.X environment to 7.0.X.X you may wish to move to a new server as well. When doing this there are two ways of carrying your configuration over:
- Using a configuration backup and resummarizing data
- Migrating your SQL database over
If you have reporting data for a long period already committed to the database, migrating the SQL database as a whole will be more efficient.
PROCESS
1. Ensure that you retain a configuration backup and the \DataDirectory\ folder from the old server, as a redundant backup.
2. Backup the SQL database (CCMData and CCMStatisticalData).
3. Set up the new server hardware and pre-requisite components.
4. Restore the backed up databases to the new server.
5. Run the Atlantic Installation as normal. The installation process will detect the existing database and update the SQL Schema automatically.
