RE: TWS migration

Hi Michael,

 

I hope u don't mind that I am writing directly to u ... but there are not much TWS users in the list anyway ...

 

About this CF issue ... indeed we have CF jobs in our environment, and worst, we have both scenarios: jobs marked as CF in its definition and jobs that are currently running when Jnextday executes.

• How should we treat these cases during the migration ?
• What did u mean by saying "which will not exist on the new machine since the new machine is not yet a member in the environment" ?

 

Also, I am planning to perform this export/import the day after tomorrow and I still have some concerns:

• What about Windows FTAs and its passwords ? I guess passwords will not be exported to a flat file, meaning that we will have to recreate them, right ?
• Is there any other way of migrating TWS data (backup/restore, etc.) without having to export to flat files ?
• What about Jnextday and other internal scripts ...

Thanks in advance.

Mario
