The follow steps describe how to Migrate Winshuttle Server data using the Winshuttle Server Data Migration Utility.

See the Winshuttle Server Database Migration Tool Guide for additional information.

The following steps require that the Winshuttle SAP Integration Server ("Winshuttle Server") has been installed on the new location prior to running the migration utility.

IMPORTANT: Before migration, backup the entire Winshuttle Server folder. A simple copy to a different directory will suffice.

Installing the Server Data Migration Tool

Back to top
  1. Download the Winshuttle Server Data Migration Utility provided by Winshuttle Support on the source Server
  2. Make a backup of the Winshuttle Server folder
  3. Run the Winshuttle Server Installer. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  4. Select I accept the terms in the License Agreement and then click Next.
  5. To install Winshuttle Server in the default location, click Next. To select a custom location, click Change, type or browse to the location, and then click Next.
  6. Enter the TCP Port to define the port on which Winshuttle Server installs. For the Application Pool Identity, specify the IIS Service Account to run the application pool. (Note: The Network User can be used, but is less secure than using the IIS Service Account). Click Next.
  7. When all the required information is entered into the wizard, Click Install.
  8. Click Finish to quit the installer.

Installation is complete.
