Importing the Control-M/EM exported data to the new version

This procedure describes how to import the Control-M/EM exported data to the new version of Control-M/EM.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have met the following requirements:

• The new version of the EM is installed with the latest EM fix packs
• No open connections to the Control-M/EM database
• The Control-M/EM database server is up and running
• All the Control-M/EM components are shut down:
  • GUI Server
  • Global Conditions Server
  • Gateways
  • BMC Batch Impact Manager Server
  • Control-M/Forecast Server
  • Configuration Management Server (CMS)
  • Configuration Agent
  • Services
• Ensure that you copied the exported files to the new 8.0.00 environment at the end of the export process (as discussed in Exporting the Control-M/EM old data).
• Ensure that you have the Control-M/EM database owner user name and password, and Database System Administrator authorization.

To import:

1. Run one of the following commands:
   • UNIX:<em_home>/Upgrade/Import/upgrade
   • Windows: <em_home>\Upgrade\Import\upgrade.bat

   The Upgrade (Import) menu appears.

   

2. Press 1.
3. When prompted, enter your Control-M/EM database credentials (owner user and password), and then enter the Database System Administrator password.

   The import process checks for open connections to the Control-M/EM database, and reminds you to shut down open connections.

4. After all connections are shut down and you are ready to continue, enter 2 (Continue Import).
5. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions until the import is complete.

   The import process converts the data and imports it into the new database.

6. Start up the EM components.

   NOTE: If you are upgrading from Control-M/EM version 7.0.00 or earlier and you use a Web Server, you must define the Web Server component in the CCM from Control-M/EM version 8.0.00 or later.
