For OpManager version 125230:

PGSQL to MSSQL Migration Steps :

1. In the PGSQL setup, go to OpManager home → bin, start Command Prompt with administrator privilege from this path and run DBConfiguration.bat.
2. In the popup shown, please chose MSSQL, check "Migrate data from the existing database" option and click OK. 
3. After the migration is complete, start the product and check if it is working properly

MSSQL to PGSQL Migration (For Prepopulated and non prepopulated setups):

1. In the MSSQL setup, make the below changes in db_migration.conf in the <OpManagerHome>\conf directory.
2. Change the value of dest.db.postgres.dir to <OpManagerHome>/pgsql directory (E.g., dest.db.postgres.dir = <OpManager Base Home>/pgsql). 
   
   This step is not applicable for OpManager versions 125324 and above.

Note: It is mandatory to use "/" as a directory separator.

1. Now go to OpManager home → bin, start Command Prompt with administrator privilege from this path and run DBConfiguration.bat.
2. In the popup shown, please chose PostgreSQL and check "Migrate data from the existing database" option and click OK.
3. After the migration is complete, start the product and check if it is working properly.

MSSQL to PGSQL Migration (Remote PGSQL)

1. In the MSSQL setup, make the below changes in db_migration.conf in <OpManagerBase Home>\conf directory.
   • create.dest.db=false
   • start.dest.postgres.server=false
2. Rename the database_params_dbconfig.conf.bkp file in <OpManagerHome>\conf\OpManager\POSTGRESQL folder if it exists.
3. Create a database in Remote PostgreSQL server.

1. Create 'rouser' for read-only permissions. Connect to pgAdmin and execute the below queries:
   • CREATE USER rouser with password '<ROPASSWORD>';
   • CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pgadmin SCHEMA pg_catalog;
   • REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA public FROM rouser, public;
   • GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE "<DatabaseName>" TO rouser, public;
   • GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO rouser, public;
   • GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO rouser, public;
   • ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE postgres IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO rouser, public;
   • GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO rouser;
   • GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO rouser;
   • ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO rouser;

1. Changes to be made in the <OpManagerHome>\conf\OpManager\POSTGRESQL\database_params.conf
   • Make the changes in URL field jdbc:postgresql://<remotePgSQLInstalledIPAddress>:<PortNumber>/<DBName>?dontTrackOpenResources=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8
   • Change the username to postgres. (username=postgres)
   • Encrypt the password of the postgres user and change the same in the above mentioned. file (password=<EncryptedPassword>)
   • Add the property isBundledPgSQL=false as well in the same file.
   • Change the ro_password to the password supplied in point 4 <ROPassword>. Encrypt the same and include it in the same file (ro_password=<ROPassword>)
   • Encryption of the plain text can be done using <OpManagerHome>\bin\encrypt.bat by specifying the algorithm as AES.256 and by using CryptTag which can be found in <OpManagerHome>\conf\customer-config.xml (Usage:: encrypt.bat -v <Password> -a AES.256 -k <CryptTag> )

1. Now go to OpManager home → bin, start Command Prompt with administrator privilege from this path and run DBConfiguration.bat.
2. In the popup shown, please chose PostgreSQL and check the "Migrate data from the existing database" option and click OK.
3. After the migration is complete, start the product and check if it is working properly.

• Download the latest version of OpManager (.exe/.bin)
• After the installation is complete, do not hit the 'Finish' button.
• In the old PGSQL setup, go to OpManager home → bin, start Command Prompt from this path and run the 'MigrateDB.bat'file with the required parameters.

  MigrateDB.bat mssql <opm_home_from_new_MSSQL_setup>/conf/databaseParams.conf

  (Pointing the newly created MSSQL database from the old PGSQL database)
• After migration is complete, copy the data-dictionary.xml file from the 'pgsql' folder of the old installation to the 'mssql' folder of the new installation.

Migrating from MSSQL TO PGSQL

• Download the latest version of OpManager (.exe/.bin)
• After the installation is complete, do not hit the 'Finish' button.
• In the old MSSQL setup, go to OpManagerhome directory → pgsql → bin, start Command Prompt from this path and run the following command:
