  • 1.  Best way to Migrate Enforce and Oracle from Linux to Windows?

    Posted Dec 02, 2014 01:00 AM
    Hi Friends,
     
    We have a situation, where we have to upgrade the DLP Enforce Sever 11.5 (Running over Linux machine) to 12.6 (on Windows)  and its Oracle 11 g database (Two Tier implementation). Could you please suggest best way to proceed for the upgradation?
     
    Pelase suggest/correct me, whether the below plan of action is right?
     
    1. Planned to Install Enforce server 11.5 with Oracle 11g on Windows server
     
    2. Backup the Linux DB as mentioned in Vontu Oracle 11g guide, Copied 14 files from opt/oracle/oraprotect/protect and copied those files Windows Oracle to c:\oracle\oraprotect\protect folder.
     
    3. After that we faced certain issues like, Vontu monitor controller service is stopping automatically, when we tried to open the webpage, We are getting https 404 page error.
     
    4. Is it best way to do migrate DB, How would you export and import polices and incident database between Enforce Server and Oracle Server database, running on two different OS platform (Linux to windows).
     
    5. Also, Is it bes way to update Vontu from 11.5 -> 12.0 -> 12.6?
     
    Could you please help us in resolving the issue?
     
    Thanks, Deva

    Your best option is to talk to support and schedule the upgrade with a support resource available.  Even without the complication of switching operating systems we have had many problems upgrading (windows from 10.5 -> 11.1 > 11.5 > 12) that have required support intervention.

    Hi Devaprasad,

    1. Install Oracle database

    2. Copy files from the source to destination folder (the file locations you mentioned are correct) on the new DB

    3.Install Enforce -during enforce server installation it will ask you to initialize the database. Don't initialize or it will wipe your existing DB clean which is not what you want.

    4. Install Detection servers

    5. Log-in

    The error you are making is in installing Enforce server first and then copying the files.

    Let me know if it works for you.
