APM Plugin Migration

APM Plugin Migration

How do I migrate Applications Manager plugin installed in one machine to a different machine?

1. First migrate the OpManager from the old server to the new server with same backend database.
2. Install Applications Manager plugin in the new server (You must install the version that you had in the old server).
3. Before migrating, stop Applications Manager plugin in your old machine by stopping the OpManager service.
4. Check the database name in the Plugin.properties file of both the old and new server. It should be same.
5. For APM Plugin with PGSQL backend, take a backup of the database in your old machine & restore it in the new machine using the steps given here.
6. For APM with MSSQL backend, you can install the APM Plugin directly. 
Note: If you're migrating to a newer MSSQL database server, you'll have to restore Applications Manager Plugin's database from your old MSSQL server.
7. To move the configuration files, mibs and ssh-keys:
Run BackupConfig.bat (sh) file in the old server and RestoreConfig.bat (sh) file in the new server. [The files will be present in: <OpManager_Home>/AppManager/bin directory. ] For more details, check this link.
8. Start the new OpManager service.
