Migrate the CA Strong Authentication Database

After you upgrade the database for the common components, upgrade the database for CA Strong Authentication components.

Follow these steps:

1. Unzip the ca-strongaauth-upgrade-6.x-or-7.x-8.0. zip, from %ARCOT_HOME% directory.
2. Open the command prompt window.
3. Change the working directory to the following directory:

   %ARCOT_HOME%\ca-strongaauth-upgrade-6.x-or-7.x-8.0\tools\win32\
   

4. Run the following command:

   wfupgrade.exe -migrate
   

   This command migrates the 6.x or 7.x, 8.0 configuration data from older database tables to the 8.0 tables.

   The wfupgrade tool generates the ca-strongaauth-8.0-upgrade.log file in the %ARCOT_HOME%\logs\ directory.

   Important! Ensure that you run the wfupgrade upgrade tool from the system where the CA Strong Authentication Server is installed.

5. Open the log file in a text editor and ensure that it does not contain any FATAL or WARNING message.

   Important! Iif you encounter errors while migration, restore the database backup that you created earlier. After you verify that the database is correctly restored, retry the database migration procedure.
