             Summary: Develop a Registry Migrator tool to assist with backward 
compatibity
                 Key: AIRAVATA-641
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-641
             Project: Airavata
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Suresh Marru


As we are starting to see Airavata being used in production by friendly users, 
we need to ensure backward compatibility and also switching between releases. A 
Airavata-Migration-Tool might help here. The migration tool should assist with 
two tasks:
* say if I deploy airavata 0.5 on a tomcat, i want to deploy a new 0.5, the 
migration tool should be able to export the data and import into new 
deployment. A database dump and restore might work, but the trick here is to 
make sure the security mappings and gateway id's and so on correct.
* going forward with every release we probably want to ship the migrator tools, 
so users with previous version deployments can migrate to newer ones adapting 
to any registry schema changes.
