NOTE Back up the original schedules and groups files before installing/updating to
Release 3.1 and the running migration tool.
After installing or updating to the new Release 3.1 HIDS software, invoke the tool in one of
the following ways (before starting the idsgui process):
$ /opt/ids/bin/guiSchedConvert
Or
$ /opt/ids/bin/guiSchedConvert /opt/java1.3/bin/java
If the schedule fails to be activated successfully after 3.1 conversion, the failure is probably
due to the limitation described on page 10.
The adminSchedConvert Migration Tool
Delivered as: /opt/ids/bin/adminSchedConvert
Usage:
/opt/ids/bin/adminSchedConvert [file_1] [file_2] ... [file_n]
where:
[file_x] is a Release 2.x text schedule file.
What it does: The adminSchedConvert tool converts HIDS Release 2.x text schedule files (for
use with the idsadmin -f option) to the HIDS Release 3.1 format. For each [file_x], the
script creates a file with the same name and the extension 3_x.
