Migration Steps for an AutoSYNC Destination System
On the Existing Source System
Moving a destination system requires updates to the syncfileset definitions on the
source system.
1. Capture the syncfileset configuration information for each syncuser as described in
Steps 4 described in paragraph On the Existing Source System on page A-16
above.
2. From the captured output, create ALTER SYNCFILESET command files to make
the necessary updates to the syncfileset configurations:

To retarget the synchronizations to the new system and file names.

If synchronization is done over a TCP/IP connection, to update the host name
or IP address of the destination.
On the Existing Destination System
1. If triggers on the source system invoke or reference macros, scripts or programs
on the existing destination system, move the files to the new system. See
examples 2 and 5 in Examples on page 6-4 for cases where on the destination
system are used in the execution of a trigger.
2. If a private copy of RESTORE is used by the destination sync process, move the
private copy of RESTORE to the appropriate location on the new destination
system.
3. Move mapnames files that reside on the existing destination system to the new
destination system, in the correct location and update their content to reflect the
new mappings between source and destination.
On the New Destination System
1. Perform Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 described in paragraph On the New Source
System on page A-16 above.
2. Test the new installation:
From the source system, use one-time syncs, the REPORT command and activate
your syncfilesets progressively.
