Event Migration Using the Migration Tool
Faronics Core Migration Guide
In most cases, administrators will not need to move the database between Faronics Core Console
2.x and Faronics Core 3.x. The majority of the database is made up of status tables that reflect the
current state of the workstations and these are rebuilt as workstations report into the new
Faronics Core 3.x installation. In the event that there is a need to preserve the historical event
data between the Faronics Core Console 2.x and Faronics Core 3.x installations the process below
will allow administrators to do so.
The process is as follows:
1. Backup the Faronics Core Console 2.x database. This is explained in
Core Console 2.x
Database.
2. Restore the Faronics Core Console 2.4 database into the instance of SQL in use by the Core
Database (FC3). This is explained in
database into Faronics Core 3.x (Core
3. Migration of the historical event data to the new database. This step is explained in this
section. There are two methods for the migration of the data; either using the Faronics Core
Migration Tool, or manually by using the SQL command.
To migrate the data using the Migration tool run the following commands:
NET STOP FaronicsCoreEventReceiver
NET STOP FaronicsCoreService
NET STOP "Faronics Core 3 Event Receiver"
C:\Program Files\Faronics\Faronics Core3\Console\Faronics Core
Migration tool\FaronicsCoreMigrationTool.exe /t
NET START FaronicsCoreEventReceiver
NET START FaronicsCoreService
NET START "Faronics Core 3 Event Receiver"
This command will transfer the event data for all workstations between the Core Console 2.4
database and the Faronics Core 3.0 database. If required, you can select to only move the data for
the workstations that are currently managed by Faronics Core 3.0 by specifying the /m switch at
runtime as below:
NET STOP FaronicsCoreEventReceiver
NET STOP FaronicsCoreService
NET STOP "Faronics Core 3 Event Receiver"
C:\Program Files\Faronics\Faronics Core3\Console\Faronics Core
Migration tool\FaronicsCoreMigrationTool.exe /t /m
NET START FaronicsCoreEventReceiver
NET START FaronicsCoreService
NET START "Faronics Core 3 Event Receiver"
This utility assumes that both databases are in the same instance. If they are not, the Faronics
Core Console 2.x database must be moved to the same SQL instance as the Core Database (FC3).
Restoring the Faronics Core Console 2.x
