Centreware web migration

[jakub.hauzner@bbraun · Accepted solution]

Hello,

that's could be nice solution. But my issue was that available MS SQL server is version 2005 which is not compatible with XCW 5.9.22. Therefore I had to install completely new installation of 5.9.22 with local MS SQL 2008 Express Edition. And recreate manually all folders and reports. One day of works.

Maybe I could move databse from the old installation (from MS SQL 2005) to this MS SQL 2008 Express and start to install locally, but nevermind. I do not need that history too much.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Jakub

I just went thru this myself.  I was not able to migrate data from one XCW version to another due to the database schema being completely different, the only way around this is to do an in-place XCW version upgrade (uninstall your 5.0.45 from your w2k3 server, install 5.9.22), this process will do a database upgrade, and then you can backup your DB thru the XCW console and restore the data on your new w2k8 server with XCW 5.9.22.

I have to migrate my old XCWW  (5.0.45) from Windows 2003-32bit server (database is on MS SQL 2005 server) to the new Windows 2008-64bit server. Only downloadable XCWW version is 5.9.22. ANd it request MS SQL 2008. Therefore I have installed the embedded  MS SQL 2008Express.

Does anybody know hot to import database from the previos version to the latest one?

Thank you for your help.
