Appendix A.4 Migrating data when replacing a PC

This section describes how to migrate current data for JP1/Software Distribution Manager and JP1/Software Distribution Client when a PC is replaced.

When you make a backup and when you restore from the backup, you must stop the JP1/Software Distribution services. For details about the services to be stopped, see 5.3 Backing up and restoring the system in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.

If an information file for higher connection destinations has been distributed to the clients and the IP address of a PC set as the connection destination has been changed, delete the information file for higher connection destinations from the clients. Automatic change of connection destination occurs when the IP address is changed.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Migrating data for JP1/Software Distribution Manager
(2) Migrating data for JP1/Software Distribution Client
(3) Data migration using Asset Information Manager Subset

(1) Migrating data for JP1/Software Distribution Manager

To migrate data when a PC used as JP1/Software Distribution Manager (central manager or relay manager) is replaced:

  1. Make a backup from the PC before you replace the PC.
    For details about the data to be backed up, see 5.3.1 Manually backing up JP1/Software Distribution Manager in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.
    If you use an Embedded RDB relational database, use the command for data migration (netmdb_unload.bat) when you back up the database.
  2. Copy the host ID management file acquired in step 1 (netmdmp.hid) to the Windows installation target directory on the new PC (for a relay manager).
  3. After replacement of the PC, install JP1/Software Distribution Manager on the new PC.
    If you are using Asset Information Manager Subset, select Asset Information Manager Subset as an installed component before you start installation of JP1/Software Distribution Manager.
  4. Use the Database Manager to create a new database (applicable to Embedded RDB).
    For details about how to use the Database Manager, see 7.4 How to use Database Manager (for Embedded RDB).
  5. Restore the backup obtained in step 1.
    For details about how to restore a backup, see 5.3.5 Restoring JP1/Software Distribution Manager in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.
    If you use an Embedded RDB relational database, use the command for data migration (netmdb_reload.bat) when you restore the database.

(2) Migrating data for JP1/Software Distribution Client

To migrate data when the PC for JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system or client) is replaced:

  1. Make a backup from the PC before you replace the PC.
    For details about the information that must be backed up for JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system), see 5.3.3 Backing up JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.
    For details about the information that must be backed up for JP1/Software Distribution Client (client), see 5.3.4 Backing up JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.
  2. Copy the host ID management file acquired in step 1 (netmdmp.hid) to the Windows installation target directory in the new.
  3. After replacement of the PC, install JP1/Software Distribution Client on the new PC.
  4. Restore from the backup made in step 1 to the installation destination in step 3.
    For details about how to restore JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system), see 5.3.6 Restoring JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.
    For details about how to restore JP1/Software Distribution Client (client), see 5.3.7 Restoring JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.

(3) Data migration using Asset Information Manager Subset

To migrate data when a PC that uses Asset Information Manager Subset is to be replaced:

  1. Make a backup on the PC that is to be replaced.
    With the Asset Information Manager Subset database manager, make a backup from the Back up the database to CSV files menu. For details about how to operate the database manager, see 10.3.3 Backing up the database as CSV files.
  2. Install JP1/Software Distribution Manager on the new PC.
    Select Asset Information Manager Subset as the component to be installed and then install JP1/Software Distribution Manager.
  3. At the server setup of Asset Information Manager Subset, set Login ID and Service name in Database Information.
  4. Create a new Asset Information Manager Subset database.
  5. Restore the database from the backup.
    With the Asset Information Manager Subset database manager, restore the database from the backup using the Restore the database from CSV files menu. For details about how to operate the database manager, see 10.3.4 Restoring the CSV database files.

If you use Asset Information Manager Subset after you have restored the backup, start the services in the following order:

  1. JP1/Client Security Control - Manager services (applicable if JP1/Client Security Control is linked)
  2. Commands and tasks of the Asset Information Synchronous Service and Asset Information Manager Subset
  3. World Wide Web Publishing Service or World Wide Web Publishing
  4. IIS Admin Service or IIS Admin
