Migration from one dev server to a new dev server
Discussion

Hi,

In our organization we have purchased an enterprise license. Let's say the server name be enterprise1. We have dedicated dev, test and production environments for the application we are building and deploying. In the enterprise1 we have more application objects and this is causing some performance issue. So we are planning to purchase another enterprise license(enterprise2) and move few applications and data to that server. The enterprise2  will have it's own dedicated dev, test and production environments. We have contacted the Outsystems supports for this requirement.

I would like to get suggestions/guideline from experts/community members. I would like to know, what are the 

  • Pre migration activities
  • Post migration activities
  • Any checklist that needs to be followed
  • Step by step migration activities
  • During migration process will it cause any outage in the application in source server(enterprise1)?
  • Will the PK reference be kept intact during migration?

If someone in this community have been in this situation earlier, Please let me know what are the challenges you have faced and how to solve them, best practices, etc.

Any suggestion/guidance would be helpful


Thanks,

Gowtham Shanmugam

Hi,

I'm currently migrating our O11 On-Premises infrastructure to an O11 Cloud infrastructure.
If it is feasable on your side, i would recommend the DMM Migration Manager or similar migrating tool.

Hi,
I did the migaration from OS-Cloud Dev to my new Onpremises-DEV.
Although I backup every application-version & eSpace-Version but the most irritating thing I came across was whitelisting of solutions/applications for the new-DEV via IPP.
Apart that everything was smooth.
Let me now if you need any help for backing up the solutions/espaces; I created automated jobs to perform the same ... as with OS it is not handy to populate the binaries.

Goodluck

@Gowtham Shanmugam : I am not quite sure about procuring a new license just because the current implementation is under performing. I would suggest you to relook into what is slowing down and identify where the issue is. You could add more front ends to production environments and deploy applications using deployment zones. Both horizontal and vertical scaling are possible. If your installation is on-premise, you have even greater control over these configurations.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. This is not a decision from my side. I'm a developer helping for the migration process.

Thanks @Gowtham Shanmugam. I understand the situation. 

In this case you need to a) move the applications ( create an .OSP) and get the IPP done and deploy to target environment.  b) For data, its better to use a tool like DMM as suggested by @Thibaut G to transfer data from your existing environment to the new one.
