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.
