Data Platform Normalize Migration Wizard Process

The Data Platform Normalize Migration Wizard Process is intended for customers who want to upgrade the User Console from a previous version (such as 5.3x or 5.4x) to the newest version of 5.5.0.

The Data Platform Migration Tool allows users to migrate existing settings and Private Catalog Data to their new 5.5.0 installation. These setting include Normalize configurations, integration setup, and Analyze custom reports.

This migration method is used in lieu of the older patch set upgrade method. This is by design. It provides a clean way to migrate to 5.5.0 without having to go through a lengthy patch set upgrade.

Note:If 5.5.0 is installed on the same server as the old version, be sure to perform the backup before uninstalling the old version.

Caution:Existing Normalize data will not be migrated. It must be removed during 5.5.0 installation. All Data Platform and User Console configuration settings will be preserved.

There are two parts to the Data Platform Normalize Migration Wizard: Backup and Restore. These operations allow you to backup settings on your previous version of the User Console and then restore those settings in your latest version of 5.5.0.

•

The Backup Phase must be implemented before installing a fresh version of 5.5.0.

•

The Restore Phase occurs after completing a fresh install of 5.5.0.

At a high-level, upgrading your existing version of the User Console to 5.5.0 requires you to backup, install, and restore your settings as follows:

Using the Data Platform Normalize Migration Wizard, back up your settings on your existing version of the User Console (i.e. 5.3x or 5.4x).

Completely install the new 5.5.0 User Console and complete the Configuration Wizard.

Using the Data Platform Normalize Migration Wizard, restore your previous settings in your newest version of the 5.5.0 User Console.
