IBM BS029ML - WebSphere Portal Server Self Help Manual page 84

Attention: Data can be transferred from a Cloudscape database, but cannot be transferred
to a Cloudscape database, so if you are transferring from a database other than the default
database, you will need to edit the wpconfig_sourceDb.properties file. This file is a copy of
the wpconfig_dbdomain.properties file, so the default values will be for Cloudscape if it is
not modified.
If you want to transfer your data to another supported database, you will need to follow the
steps specific to the type of database you are using, for example, DB2, Oracle, or SQL
Server™. By this point, you should have planned for the database you wish to use, installed
the database for use with WebSphere Portal, and set up the database to work with
WebSphere Portal that is, creating users and creating local or remote databases. Once these
steps have been followed (per 3.2.2, "How do I prepare for the database transfer" on
page 67), you should be ready to transfer the data.
You may choose to transfer data manually or by using the configuration wizard and you may
transfer all the data at once or by individual domains. When transferring data manually, you
want to first validate the configuration properties with the following task:
For UNIX:
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-connection-wps -Drelease.DbPassword=password
-Dcustomization.DbPassword=password -Dcommunity.DbPassword=password
-Djcr.DbPassword=password
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-connection-jcr -Djcr.DbPassword=password
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-connection-feedback
-Dfeedback.DbPassword=password
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-connection-likeminds
-Dlikeminds.DbPassword=password
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-connection-wmm -Dwmm.DbPassword=password
./WPSconfig.sh validate-database-driver
Windows:
WPSconfig.bat validate-database-connection-wps -Drelease.DbPassword=password
-Dcustomization.DbPassword=password -Dcommunity.DbPassword=password
-Djcr.DbPassword=password
WPSconfig.bat validate-database-connection-jcr -Djcr.DbPassword=password
WPSconfig.bat validate-database-connection-feedback
-Dfeedback.DbPassword=password
WPSconfig.bat validate-database-connection-likeminds
-Dlikeminds.DbPassword=password
WPSconfig.bat validate-database-connection-wmm -Dwmm.DbPassword=password
WPSconfig.bat validate-database-driver
This task will begin by validating a connection with each domain by running a separate set of
subtasks for each one. Once this task is complete, you will need to stop the WebSphere
Portal server and server1 and, upon stopping the servers, you will be ready to run the
database transfer command as follows:
For UNIX:
./WPSconfig.sh database-transfer
-Drelease.DbPassword=password-Dcustomization.DbPassword=password
-Dcommunity.DbPassword=password -Djcr.DbPassword=password
-Dwmm.DbPassword=password -Dfeedback.DbPassword=password
-Dlikeminds.DbPassword=password
