BMC Communities Idea - RFE: Migrator actions for Form migrations
An idea I just posted to BMC Communities. When doing a server to server migration do the following when migrating forms Check to see if the form exists on the target. If it doesn't exist on the target check to see if the Schema ID from the source is used on the target. If that Schema ID is not used on the target put the form on the same ID as it is on the source. Please visit my idea at https://communities.bmc.com/ideas/3626 to Vote and offer your honest opinions on whether or not it would be useful to have this incorporated in a future release of the Remedy Migrator.

Re: Migrations
We had to move away from HP-UX on PA/RISC running AR System and Oracle which was going to move to HP-UX on IA64 (Itanium) last year, since AR System was not natively compiled on Itanium until version 7.1. We moved to AR Server 7.0.1 on W2K3 with Oracle 10gR2 running on a Linux (RHEL) cluster. The only reason we stayed away from AR Server on Linux was due to the comfort level at our company from a support perspective. Linux is a new entry for AR Server (unlike Solaris, HP-UX and AIX) and hence the decision to move away from the *NIX platform altogether.

Re: Migrations
You may have some significant reasons for changing OS and/or db that I would not know about, but I have realized improved performance for ARS 7.1 / ITSM 7 simply by moving to Win2K3 x64 and SQL Server 2005 x64 and giving them plenty of RAM to play in.

Re: Migrations
Let me put it another wayif it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've done half a dozen similar migrations and none of them are too tedious...export all your old data, get your new environment set and import the data...not tough, just time-consuming! And, of course, with 7.0 the order of the imports is paramount!

Re: Migrations
Dave, From a technical standpoint, the initial Remedy installation is harder, because the BMC developers aren't as familiar with *nix as they are with Windows-based operating systems. There may be bugs in the installation code which don't exist in Windows. That said, the *nix versions use scripts in a lot of places, and you can troubleshoot most of the issues you will encounter on your own where you wouldn't be able to do so with a compiled executable in Windows. As far as the database goes, it really depends on which database you or your DBA are most comfortable with. MSSQL is easy to install and easy to script. Oracle is more robust, but for Remedy purposes, they're equally reliable. If you are comfortable working with Oracle, you'll have no trouble. If not, you'll have an excellent opportunity to expand your repertoire. Best of luck, Jennifer Meyer Data Manager Mystikal Solutions mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of Drake,Dave Sent: Tue 01-Apr-08 14:13 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Migrations This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --_=_NextPart_001_01C89424.28677723 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, Hoping someone has a little experience with either one or both of these sce= narios.
