Migration Steps

Faronics Core 3.x is a significant architectural improvement of the existing Faronics Core Console

2.x platform to deliver enhanced security and greater scalability. Due to the improvements which

now leverage a multi-tier architecture, upgrading to the Faronics Core 3.x will require a migration

process that follows the basic steps outlined below:

1. Install Faronics Core 3.x. Refer to the Faronics Core User Guide available at

http://www.faronics.com/library

2. Install the updated product loadins to Faronics Core 3.x. Refer to the specific product loadins

available at

3. Install or upgrade the updated Core Agent to the client workstations. Refer to the Faronics

Core User Guide available at

4. Install the updated product agents to the client workstations. Refer to the specific product

loadins available at

5. Migrate the Faronics Core Console 2.x tasks to Faronics Core 3.x. This is explained in this

document. This step is optional.

6. Migrate the workstation event data from Faronics Core Console 2.x database to the Faronics

Core 3.0 database (Core Database). This is explained in this document. This step is optional.

The above process remains the same regardless of if the Faronics Core Console 2.x data is being

migrated on an existing server or being setup on an entirely new hardware. In the event that

Faronics Core 3.x is being configured on new hardware, either the Core Database (FC3) must be

configured on the same SQL instance as the existing Faronics Core Console 2.x database, or the

Faronics Core Console 2.x database must be moved to the new SQL instance where Core Database

(FC3) will be installed.
