Migrating 11. 1 to 12

Migration Steps § Link in docops: https: //docops. ca. com/ca-wla-de/120/en/installing/upgrading-the-ca-workload-automation-de-server-from-previousversions 42 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Source and Target Diagram 43 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Migration § Migration Utility – Located in <R 12_install_dir>/bin – Requires user for R 11. 1 environment with Administrator privileges § Connects to R 11. 1 from R 12 server to retrieve all artifacts – User can control artifacts before importing into R 12 § migration. default. conf § All artifacts upload at first R 12 start after migration – Global variables and historical data are migrated directly into the database – Migration utility does not merge existing and migrated data – Process can be time consuming depending on artifact volumes 44 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Pre-migration Steps § Install R 12 and start – Do not run workload. If you do, coldstart R 12 before migration § Ensure Firewall Allows New Server/Agent Communication – Ensure R 12 can communicate with source server and database § Only required for migration § Events with past date references can be problematic – Example: current date: 01/01/2016 § Event Schedule: “daily starting 05/14/2014” – Fails to migrate due to old date § Event Suspend: “ 06/16/2014” – Increment suspend count instead – Clear beforehand – Migration log clearly indicates objects not migrated 45 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Pre-migration Steps § Backup database prior to migration § Determine logging details – server_install_dir/migration/logs. conf. xml § Plan for Agents – Upgrade R 7 agents ahead of time if possible § See Documentation for Agent behavior changes – https: //docops. ca. com/ca-wla-agents-1134 -en/installing/migrating-an-espsystem-agent-to-r 11 -3 – Prepare agentparm. txt files beforehand if possible. § Agents require new manager communication information § Agent recycle required 46 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Other Considerations and Notes § Ensure 11. 1 server is fully patched § Source server is preserved § Recommend that you do not create artifacts or run workload on the new server before migration § Unsupported Characters in Artifact Names § Desktop clients must be upgraded to R 12 – Non-admin user updates are supported – New default path: C: CAWA Desktop Client R 12 – updatesite. bat provides silent installation 47 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
