Migration from 6.5 to 6.7

Has anyone tried Migrating 'EVERYTHING' from 6.5 server to 6.7 system? I mean Groups, users, EA's, Branches and Editions.

I have tried iwmigrate and was extremely unsuccessful.

So i am doing a Copy manually procedure
By copying iw-store
and restarting the services. This will not copy my persmissions or the groups or the users. How can i do to acheive this, I have somany posts to copy the EA's to the target branch. For now lets assume that EA's are intact. But how about the permissions?

Is there is command which will do this?

Some one please enlighten me with you iwmigrate knowledge.

Thank you

I think you want to start with 6.5 and do an Upgrade - this might require first installing 6.5 on the new server - bringing over everything (like the tsgroups.xml file, role files, etc.) and then doing an upgrade/installation to 6.7 which I believe runs a program to perform much of the access / role / group migrations for you.

Alternatively, you might be able to follow the information in Appendix C of the TeamSite Installation Guide ...

Thank you Adam, Sorry i confused youa bit or i got myself confused.

I am trying to Migrate from TeamSite 6.5 SP2 server to TeamSite 6.7 server.
I will go through Appendix C of TeamSite Installation guide for 6.7 right?

Can you direct me to very nicely explained example for "iwmigrate" please.
Thank you

iwmigrate does not do anything with regard to transferring users/groups/acls it is for migrating content from one backing store to another (based on Edition snapshots) - either on the same server (MultiStore) or different servers. The CLT manual and the output from iwmigrate -h are probably the most expedient sources of information on usage - beyond that I believe there are probably some KB articles and a few forum threads on it too.

Hi,

Regarding your permissions query, you can you "iwidmap" to export your permissions to a file "store.idmap".

1. Stop TS Services on 6.5

2. Run iwidmap command, refer to kb below - Scenario 3

https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=49980

3. Copy existing 6.5 content store to new server

4. Import the permissions back from "store.idmap" - Scenario 3

https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=49980

This should take care of your permission query.

Have anyone thought of doing TS 6.7 fresh installation on new server and then moving/migrating existing config files, custom code etc etc...from 6.5 server to new server[TS 6.7]?

Mohit.

We are in a process of doing it? Did you face any issues? have you done it?
thanks

Upgrading to TS 6.7 does not "require" you to migrate the store from TS 6.5 SP2. Not being aware of the specific issues, I am not sure if "iwmigrate" is necessary in your situation or not. For a generic upgrade, it is not required.

There is a migration of access rights (users, groups and roles) that is required when you upgrade from TS 6.x to TS 6.7.0. That is explained in the Appendix of the Admin Guide. That migration is not the "iwmigrate" utility because this only reads all of your users, groups and their roles from a TS 6.5 system and applies it to the TS 6.7.0 model (using branch specific roles).

According to the output you provided - the defaults store is not up and running (correctly) - try running iwstoreadm -a default and then retry what you were doing.
