Copy the SP2 Portal File System and then Migrate??

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Is it possible to copy the EP6SP2 Portal FileSystem and the SQL Database on the other host and then migrate start the migration process from this host. I mean to create the export file from this new host(where we copied the fileSystem and the DB). Because anyways we have to shut down the portal while migrating, so i think this can be done..

Any ideas.

Hey Detlev,

That's my thread only..:) Initially i created the message in the EP Implementation and then i realize that i could have created this in the EP Migration..so created there also...

Anyway...do you know if this is possible.

Hi Vaib,

> That's my thread only

Totally right, I know. I just wanted to clean up the cross post particles

> Anyway...do you know

Not really, but check out https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b4e7b090-0201-0010-ada6-b9b... if it may help.

Hi Vaib,

I've not tested it, but in general I would expect it to work, as I trust the author of this paper

So the only "danger" I see is if maybe something is not documented enough or that some special cases may not have been considered.

I think there are also one or more threads here in the forum about this, just search for "zip portal".

Hope it helps
