Migrate a UMS Server with a Different Database

If you want to migrate to a new UMS Server and at the same time transfer your data to a different database, you can find the instructions here.

Data transfer

Before the migration, you need to transfer the UMS data to the new database:

1. Open the the IGEL UMS Administrator of the current server.
   
   
2. Click Data Source > Add... to set up a data source for the new database you wish to use.
   
   
3. Click Copy to copy the old data source to the new one.
   
   

4. Activate the new data source.
   
   

5. Wait until the UMS Server fully starts, i.e. the UMS Console can connect with it.

For more information on managing data sources in the IGEL UMS Administrator, see Data Source.

Migration

After the transfer of data, you can begin the migration procedure based on the database:

• If the new data source is an embedded database, follow the instructions in Migrate a UMS Server with the Same Embedded Database.
• If the new data source is an external database, follow the instructions in Migrate a UMS Server with the Same External Database.
