6.6 Replacing the installation-destination machine
This section describes how to perform a version upgrade or product upgrade installation by replacement in a machine different from the machine on which JP1/Service Support has been installed. In the description below, the old environment means a Windows environment with an old version or old product (edition) of JP1/Service Support installed. The new environment means a Windows environment in which you want install a new version or new product (edition) of JP1/Service Support.
Before the version upgrade or upgrade installation, back up the Item management database for the recovery if installation fails. For details, see 6.2.3 Backing up the environment.
- Important
-
The JP1/Service Support in the old environment might not support the OS in the new environment. In such a case, perform replacement after upgrading the version of JP1/Service Support in the old environment to a version that supports the OS in the new environment. Note that the new environment is assumed to be a 64-bit Windows environment. For details about the versions of JP1/Service Support and prerequisites for the OS, see the Release Notes.
-
Execute the jssdbbackup.bat command.
Backup the old environment by executing the jssdbbackup.bat command with the -f and -expand options specified.
For details on the jssdbbackup.bat command, see jssdbbackup.bat (backs up databases) in Chapter 12. Commands.
-
Back up the definition information of the old environment.
You need to back up every file listed in Table 11-1 in 11.1.1 Backing up definition information except the environment setup commands, cluster environment setup command, and environment settings files. Because the active node and the standby node have the same definition information, you can acquire the files from either node. However we recommend that you use the active node.
-
In the new environment, install the same JP1/ Service Support as the one installed in the old environment.
For details on how to install JP1/Service Support, see 6.3.1 New installation procedure.
-
Set up JP1/Service Support in the new environment.
When setting up JP1/Service Support, specify the same database size for the Item management database as in the old environment.
For details on how to set up the environment for JP1/Service Support, see 6.3.2 Setup procedure for new installation.
-
Execute the jssdbrecovery.bat command to recover the data from the backup you created in step 1.
Execute the command with the -f and -expand options specified.
For details on the jssdbrecovery.bat command, see jssdbrecovery.bat (recovers a database) in Chapter 12. Commands.
-
Restore the definition information in the new environment.
Restore the definition information you backed up in step 2 to the new environment. When this process is complete, make sure that the system operates in the same way as it did in the old environment.
-
Execute the jssdbbackup.bat command.
Back up the new environment by executing the jssdbbackup.bat command. You can use this backup to recover the environment if the upgrade process fails in a subsequent step. Specify the -f and -maint options as command arguments.
For details on the jssdbbackup.bat command, see jssdbbackup.bat (backs up databases) in Chapter 12. Commands.
