Misi,
Thanks for your help on this. What I am trying to do is migrate from one
production database to another. We have an existing prod server that has a
broken installation. In order to install Asset Management we need to
perform a re-install into a new prod. The new installed db has additional
records in it that I do not want to be deleted when I migrate the data.
Here is an outline of what I am trying to do:
1. Take OLD PROD backup. Users still active.
2. rrrchive using COPY from OLD PROD backup 1 --> NEW PROD
(this is actually several steps breaking down into config vs data, takes a
few hours)
3. Take another OLD PROD backup. OLD PROD put into Admin only mode.
4. rrrchive using SYNCTOTARGET from OLD PROD backup 2 --> NEW PROD
(to migrate only updated records)
The goal of the last step is to capture data changes since the first
backup. This would require a production outage, but the down time will be
much smaller than if we were to copy all of the data.
I cannot just restore the old prod db to new prod because I am fixing the
install including workflow. This is the best solution I have come up with.
Any thoughts?
Again, thanks for your help.
