Team,

As always, thank you for your quick, insightful responses! I need to copy all of my interfaces, scripts, xlates, etc. from my 6.0 server to my 6.2 server. Is it possible to merely copy my six sites from /pwim/cis6.0/integrator/ ? Otherwise, is there a tool or documentation?

  What I have done in the past when migrating to new hardware and new version is to ‘tar’ up (we are on AIX) the existing sites (i.e. cd $HCISITEDIR then tar -cvf mycurrentsite.tar NetConfig notes/NetConfig Tables Xlate eoalias formats pdls tclprocs views Alerts siteInfo ) and extract the .tar file to a pseudo ‘root’ ( such /pwim/cis6.0/integrator/ ) created on the new hardware. Then you can run the ‘hcirootcopy’ to copy/convert the sites from the old version to the new version on the new hardware.
  
  You don’t want to simply extract your existing sites (that are the old version) under the new version as there may be some conversion required which the ‘hcirootcopy’ would handle.
  
  Hope that helps/makes sense.

    Thanks Jim!
    
    I received the following errors when running that command from the /pwim/cis6.2/integrator/ directory. I tar’d the site I wanted, and untarred it into a sitetar directory off of the Integrator directory. Do I need to do some kind of site export first?
    
    hcirootcopy -n -s swm_deva -c /pwim/cis6.2/integrator/sitetar/swm_deva
    unable to chdir to /pwim/cis6.2/integrator/sitetar/swm_deva/eoalias/root: No such file or directory
    Warning: cannot copy top level EO aliases
    swm_deva is not a valid site in /pwim/cis6.2/integrator/sitetar/swm_deva
    Could not open /pwim/cis6.2/integrator/sitetar/swm_deva/rootInfo at /pwim/cis6.2/integrator/bin/hcirootcopy line 1891.

  Your “fake” 6.2 root should be here:
  
  /pwim/cis6.2/integrator
  
  Under that you need each site you want to migrate. Which means you need to move the swm_deva directory up one level. (The “sitetar” directory is confusing things).
  
  The syntax for hcirootcopy you should use is as follows:
  
  setroot <cloverleaf 19.1 root>
  
  hcirootcopy -s swm_deva -c /pwim/cis6.2/integrator
  
  You can ignore the warning about being unable to copy top level EO aliases.
