Use the batch upload utility
to migrate data from an existing
source and submit it as a new asset to IBM® Rational® Asset Manager.
Before you begin
You can use the batch upload utility to move
assets in
two ways:
- Moving assets from one Rational Asset
Manager server to another Rational Asset
Manager server
- Creating assets from folders or archives on
your local file system
and uploading the assets to a Rational Asset
Manager server
About this task
If you are upgrading
to a newer version of Rational Asset
Manager, you can migrate
data to the newer version. To migrate data in a schema to a newer
version:
Procedure
- Set up a test instance of the
older version of Rational Asset
Manager; then
upgrade the instance to the newer version.
- Export
the production instance asset library and import
the asset library into the test instance. Add both the older schema
and newer schema to the test instance, and then validate the newer
schema.
- On the test instance that you upgraded
to the newer version,
use the batch update task to update assets from the older schema to
the newer schema. If a batch update task is not possible, you might
need to manually migrate the data or create an extended batch utility.
- After you are sure that none of the assets depend
on the
older schema, remove it.
- Repeat steps 1 through
4 on the production instance of Rational Asset
Manager.
