Confirm the Migration Database Versions

You confirm the migration database versions by testing the database connection. The first time that you run the Migration Utility, the CA APM Migration Utility Configuration dialog automatically opens. The dialog fields are populated with the database configuration settings that you specified during the Release 12.8 installation.

Note: After you confirm the migration database versions, click Configure on the Migration Utility window.

When you test the database connections, the Migration Utility detects the product release version from which you are migrating data and the release version to which you are migrating data. The utility populates the From Version and To Version fields on the dialog with the detected product release versions. You cannot change the release versions on the dialog.

The detected From Version must be Release 11.3.4 and the detected To Version must be Release 12.8. If the Migration Utility detects a different release version, you cannot proceed with the migration.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter the Database Password.
  2. Click Test Connection.

    A confirmation message indicates that the connection test succeeded or failed.

  3. Click Save on the CA APM Migration Utility Configuration dialog if the confirmation message indicated that connection testing succeeded.

    The dialog closes.

  4. If the confirmation message indicated that the database connection test failed, determine why the Migration Utility could not connect to the database configuration. After you resolve the problem, repeat the connection test.

    Note: If the Product Release Versions on the CA APM Migration Utility Configuration dialog do not match the release versions that you are trying to connect to the Migration Utility, the database connection test fails. You cannot proceed with the migration.

If you want to change the database configuration settings later, see Configure the Migration Database.
