ridgeline.check.source.version value to false.
•
Start the source database on the remote machine.

installed remote machine.
3 Clear offline migration check box.
4 Select remotehost from the Host list and specify the IP address of remote machine.
5 In Database port, enter the database port of source installation if you have modified the default port
from 10553.
6 Before starting migration, ensure that source database is running by clicking Test Connection.
7 For Target export directory field, enter a location, or accept the default, \Ridgeline4.0\dbmigration
\work_dir.
8 Click Start Migration.

a Copy contents of <source-installation>/migration_dump_v4.0 from remote machine to export
directory specified in tool in following location <export-directory>/dump/db/native (For

\Ridgeline4.0\dbmigration\work_dir\dump\db\native)
b For alarm migration: Copy the events.xml file from source Ridgeline installation, and the then
rename the file as eventOld.xml. For 3.0: <3.0_source_installation_dir>/extreme.war/events.xml
and for 3.1: <3.1_source_installation_dir>/deploy/extreme.war/events.xml to <target-
installation>/dbmigration/work_dir/download/ridgeline/alarm/.
c For config file migration: Create a directory wu9.dmp in <export-directory>/dump/file/wu 9, and
then copy config files from <source-installation>/.../tftp/ridgeline/configs/*.* to <export-
directory>/dump/file/wu9.dmp.
