Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure what to be done after installing a new 12.52 SP1 ONLY for migrate the smkeydatabase to CDS.
I mean, we selected the parallel migration in order to NOT touch anything in the old (working!) envirnoment. Also the documentation itself says "The existing environment is left in tact but you setup a new environment
that protects new resources".
BUT, due that we are moving to 12.6, we cannot anymore migrate the smkeydatabase directly into 12.6.... ok.
So we installed a new 12.52 SP1 policy server, created a new policy store just for it (blank!), copied the smkeydatabase to 12.52 and runned the commands to migrate the keys to the cds. Right, now we have:
- old policy server 12.0
- new 12.52 SP1 policy server with its specific policy store and cds (but with NO DATA imported)
- new 12.6 policy server
What is the best way now to continue the migration? We need obviously to stay in 12.6.
We are think to
-take the 12.6 policy server
-points it to the 12.52 SP1 policy store (that contains only 12.52 schema and the exported cds),
- run the standard command like ("XPSDDInstall SmMaster.xdd" and "XPSImport smpolicy.xml -npass"
-at this point export data from 12.0 and import to 12.6.
- here we don't need anymore the 12.52 SP1
Is it correct? Is there any easier way?
We don't want to run any command into the 12.0 policy server /store. For this reason we think that documentation that says "
Point the 12.52 SP1 Policy Server to the 12.0x policy store then extend the 12.0x policy store
to include the CDS." is not safe, due that we have to run command in the 12.0 policy store.
