Database migration

After you initially configure Fathom, you can use the Database Migration utility at any time to migrate a scripted database to a managed database.

To migrate a database from the Fathom Management console:

  1. Click Resources. The Resources page appears.
  2. Click Database Migration Utility. The Database Information page appears. This page contains two sections. The first section provides an overview of what information you must provide to migrate the database, and the second allows you to provide specifics about the particular database you want to migrate.
  3. Enter the database's information into the second section of the Database Information page and click Submit.
  4. Note: For additional details about the information you must provide when migrating a database, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.

The AdminServer now controls the database. Use the AdminServer or the DBMAN utility to start and stop the database. If you managed the database with scripts before its migration, do not use these scripts. If you use these scripts, Fathom will not recognize your database. Fathom can only recognize databases run by the AdminServer.
