Migrate to 10.1 on the same system

Top  Previous  Next

To migrate to 10.1 on the same server as the previous installation, install the 10.1 server into a new directory

 

For version 8.0 and previous libraries, run a command line import of any libraries to convert them to 10.1 format.  This procedure is described in Importing 7.x/8.0 Libraries.  Note this process can be run multiple times if needed, to assist in migration of large libraries.  Only new or updated documents and images are imported.

 

Take steps to ensure no UnForm printing will take place to the previous server, then copy these files to the UnForm server directory:

 

ufarcacc.dat – library/user access table

ufarcgrp.dat – groups table

ufarcgac.dat – library/group access table

ufarclib.dat – library full paths and properties

ufarcusr.dat – user table

 

If the full paths to libraries is changed, such as if they were stored under the "arc" directory of another UnForm installation, use the browser interface Admin, Libraries page to modify the library paths to each of your new library locations.  As you do so, the custom user and group access records will be updated with the new library name.  If there are existing links to now-obsolete paths, add the old paths as aliases in the new library record.  Aliases enable the access to current library names using old names.

 

Be sure to update any rule files that have full paths to library names in archive commands, so printing archives will update the new library locations.  If there are external links to old library names, add the old names as aliases in Library maintenance.

 

At this point, you can begin submitting print jobs to the UnForm 10.1 server.
