iwmigrate

How do you use this utility? I can't seem to get any output whatsoever, not even an error.

I'm trying to copy a branch (with all sub-branches and editions) from one W2K TS 5.5.2 server to another W2K TS 5.5.2 server. I've tried the following. Outcome is always the same: zero byte log file and hung iwmigrate process.

On the target TS server, I map M: to either 'default' (1st and 2nd cases below) or 'iw-store' (3nd case below)

I issue one of the following commands:

\iw-home\bin>iwmigrate -m m:\ -o d:\iw-store\default -b //psnva232/default/main/crewnet_portal >> d:\iw_migrate_crewnet_portal.log 2>>&1


\iw-home\bin>iwmigrate -o d:\iw-store\default -b //psnva232/default/main/crewnet_portal >> d:\iw_migrate_crewnet_portal_2.log 2>>&1

\iw-home\bin>iwmigrate -m m:\default -o d:\iw-store\default -b //psnva232/default/main/crewnet_portal >> d:\iw_migrate_crewnet_portal.log 2>>&1

Maybe its waiting for you to answer the question.

Do you wish to continue (y or n):

(Use the undocumented -g flag to avoid this in scripts)

Here's a command that works for me to migrate one branch to a new store:

iwmigrate -m Y:/default -b /default/main/src-branch -o C:\new-iwstore

So, you could mount your remote destination to z:, and change the -o to Z:\iw-store or whatever.

Here's the usage message:

Usage: iwmigrate [-h] [-v] [-x] [-m mount_location] -o new_backing_location
[-b branch_vpath] [-s starting_ed] [-e ending_ed]
[-t timeout] [-c] [-d] [-f] [-l]

-h Print this message.
-v Print version number.
-b branch Specify source branch for migration.
-x Increment verbosity level.
Can be specified multiple times,
as in -x -x -x
The maximum verbosity is level 3.
-m mount_location of store
Specify mount location of store, as in /iwmnt/default.
-o new_backing_location
Specify new backing store location.
-d Don't recursively convert sub-branches
-s starting_ed
Specify starting ed for conversion
(default is INITIAL)
(This option can only be used with -d)
-e ending_ed
Specify ending ed for conversion
(default is most recent)
(This option can only be used with -d)
-f Full clone of every edition
(doesn't preserve history)
-t timeout Time in minutes for process to run.
-c Cleanup history information (final pass)
-l locale Specify the native locale of the backing
store being converted (if different
