Chapter 4: Migrating Data; Understanding Data Migration; Migrated Data - Check Point Integrity Advanced Server Installation Manual

Use the steps in this chapter to migrate your data from Integrity Server versions 5.1 or
later that are prior to 6.0. For information on upgrading from 6.x installations, see
"Upgrading and Migrating Integrity Advanced Server,"
Migration from single domain installations to a multi domain installation is not
supported. Migration from one database type to another is not supported. Integrity
Advanced Server version 6.0 and 5.x versions cannot run simultaneously on the same
computer and you must create new database schemas for the new installation.
The best practice for upgrading is to install the new Integrity Advanced Server, perform
the migration steps to transfer your data, then test the new server with a limited
deployment. Once you have had a successful limited deployment you can deploy to
your entire enterprise and shut down the old Integrity Advanced Server.

Understanding Data Migration

Data migration allows you to move some of your data from a previous installation of
Integrity Server to your new installation. Any data that you did not create settings for
will be set to the default values.
Note that migrating from 5.x version to 6.x versions and then upgrading to a later
6.x version may cause unexpected legacy data to appear. If you have previously
migrated data to an earlier version of Integrity Advanced Server and then upgrade to
the most recent version, data that you configured in the earliest (5.x) version may
appear in the latest version, even if it did not appear in the intermediate version.
This is due to differences in feature availability between versions.
