is refreshing the entire production hardware, a traveling server may not be required. If using a
traveling server, the estimated downtime is the time to transition to the traveling server and back to
the migrated IMPAX 6.5.3 system.
IMPAX 6.5.3 with new hardware for Database
Server
IMPAX production system running earlier
version
After the new IMPAX 6.5.3 cluster is installed, the following high-level tasks are performed:
1. Restore a cold backup from the existing IMPAX production system to the new IMPAX 6.5.3
system.
2. Upgrade Oracle and the database schema on the IMPAX 6.5.3 system.
3. Perform de-referencing tasks on the IMPAX 6.5.3 system as required.
4. Upgrade any servers (such as Network Gateways) that are to be reused to IMPAX 6.5.3.
5. Transition to the new migrated IMPAX 6.5.3 system (on the new hardware).
This method is not the one documented in this guide, though the individual tasks are similar to
those done for the documented method.
Purpose of the Parallel and Volume Migration Tools
(Topic number: 123298)
With any IMPAX upgrade, you must use some of the tools and scripts included with the IMPAX 6.5.3
Migration Toolbox to extract relevant database information and upgrade the database schema. The
IMPAX migration tools are in a dedicated Migration CD ISO.
When having to convert DAA entries—no longer supported in IMPAX 6.5.3—to PACS Store and
Remember and HSM archiving (which is supported), two additional tools are required:
1. Parallel Migration Tool Set (PMTS), which de-references and re-references all of the cache and
archive locations, and update all relevant database tables.
2. Volume Migration Tool (VMT), which performs the archive migration from the direct attached
archive to HSM.
These tools are available from Agfa. They are not distributed with the IMPAX software.
