Performing Migration
7-176800-A2-GN22-30 January 1997
• ATR Phone Directories
• Historic Alerts
• Network Summary Categories and Labels
• Trouble Tickets
• Port Configuration
NOTE
User-specified information associated with the
unnamed
site will not
be migrated from Release 2 to Release 4.2. The user must re-enter
any such information after the migration is complete.
The following databases will not be migrated:
• The active alerts database will not be migrated because the Release 4.2 NMS generates
up-to-date active alert data at system start-up
• Routines
• Network Control Task scheduled items
• Network Control Task results queue
• Alert Driven Routines
• Reports/Trouble Tickets customized with 4GL or SQL
Cleaning Up the Database
Since the databases not migrated were drastically redesigned in Release 3.1, the customer should
print a hard copy of routines and scheduled items to assist in recreating these items, if necessary.
For scheduled items, perform the List Schedule Items (lssi) command to assist in rebuilding
them. For facility profiles, facility types and ACCULINK validation, perform the List Facility
Profile (lsfp) command. For Trouble/Inventory Reports and Trouble Tickets that have been
customized, back up the files and copy them to a removable medium.
Backing Up the Database
The data to be migrated to the Release 4.2 6800 Series NMS is downloaded to a cartridge tape
using the backup utility provided on a Release 4.2 migration diskette. The data is then uploaded
to Release 4.2 via a cartridge tape and the migration utility of Release 4.2. Data transfer is
nondestructive; no data on the source NMS is modified or deleted.
Use the following procedure to backup the Release 2 database:
1. TYPE: cd /usr/nms/adm
PRESS: Enter
2. Insert the Release 4 migration floppy disk into the Release 2 host processor.
