4-5-3 Migrating the server database
If XP Command View AE Suite is used for an extended period of time, you may need a higher
performance machine in order to accommodate product version upgrades and the increased
number of objects to be managed. If this occurs, database migration will be one important
component of the machine replacement process. In XP Command View AE Suite, you can migrate
the database by using the hcmdsdbtrans command. The hcmdsdbtrans command migrates all
information stored in the database of each XP Command View AE Suite product as well as user
information managed by the Common Component.
You can use the hcmdsdbtrans command to migrate the Device Manager database to a machine
that has a different environment than the currently operating server machine, as shown in the
following cases:
• Migration to a different platform machine
• Migration to a machine on which the installation locations for XP Command View AE Suite are
different from the ones on the migration source
• Migration to a machine on which the versions of XP Command View AE Suite are newer than
the ones on the migration source
