Title: Windows: Migrating Data
Post by: jsquizz on November 26, 2023, 08:05:48 PM
Hello All,

Working with a client that is running:

Windows 2016
CMOD V9.5
DB2 V10.5

End goal, is everything running on 2022 Server + Latest versions of everything.

On the target server, I setup a CMOD environment that mimics that of the existing one (config settings, db2, etc..). I then took a backup of the database and restored it to the new CMOD instance running on 22 Server. Looks like that part worked.

Data on the old server is stored on F:/arscache1. I copied the data across the network and I am getting link errors, unable to retrieve the object.

Is this the best approach as far as the objects? Or, should I just mount the drive as F:/ ? Something I am missing?

Jeff - I think you're going to need to mount the data at F:

I am not sure if thats going to work. The current data sits on the F: drive locally. They are moving to AWS. I'm sure that they have some kind of file transfer utility to seamlessly do it, but my own testing didnt work right - I will try your approach in my sandbox environment.

Thank you!
