Migrating your data (traditional)
To use Jama Connect 8.x, your application server must be running on a Linux platform; Windows server is no longer supported. Also, because Oracle database is no longer supported, you must migrate to either Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL before upgrading to version 8.x.
You must also migrate your existing data when you upgrade the platform (physical or virtual) for your database server or application server.
Note
This information applies to self-hosted environments only.
Migrate Jama Connect data when you:
Upgrade from Oracle database on pre-8.0 Jama Connect
Migrating... | Details |
|---|---|
From Oracle database | Jama Connect 8.x no longer supports Oracle database. You must migrate to a supported database before upgrading to 8.x. |
From Windows server | Jama Connect 8.x no longer supports Windows platform. You must migrate to a supported Linux operating system, then migrate your application and data. |
Important
If you restore data from an XML or .jama file, your image file automatically references the new server's name or location. But if you use any other method to restore data (such as proprietary tools for MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server), you must run the Fix URL option to update references manually.
