Migration Xpress provides the interface for preparing the existing
server based
or
Virtual Appliance based
deployments for migration to the latest Virtual Appliance platform. The tool assists you in selecting the environment elements (roles and tasks) for migration. It also allows you to map the User Store attributes (user, group, and organization) from source to target environments. The results of selection and mappings are used in the environment and user store migration.
The Migration Xpress tool can be deployed on a Virtual Appliance or Windows or Linux machine with Oracle JRE 1.8.
  • The Migration Xpress user interface requires direct access to the source and target application servers via HTTP or HTTPS. Single Sign-On is not supported.
  • To use SSL, import the source or target certificate to the Java keystore of the Java package that is used to run the application.
To deploy Migration Xpress, follow these steps:
  1. Run the Migration Xpress tool. There are two ways to run the tool.
    • Method 1:
      Navigate to the Migration Xpress download directory and run the command:
      bin\mx_ui.cmd
      or
      ./bin/mx_ui.sh
      Windows: <Migration_Xpress_download_directory>bin\mx_ui.cmd Linux: <Migration_Xpress_download_directory>./bin/mx_ui.sh
    • Method 2:
      <Migration_Xpress_download_directory>/lib/java -jar migration-xpress-<version>.jar [–server.port=<port>]
      [server.port=<port>]: Specifies the port number that the application uses for the web user interface. Default is 8143.
  2. When prompted, enter a Username and Password.
    The user credentials are not saved in the system. Each time you run the tool, a new user credential can be provided.
  3. Connect to the server using a browser with URL: https://<hostname>:<port>. The default port is 8143.
  4. Log in to the Migration Xpress web interface using the same credentials that you had supplied while launching the migration tool.
