253 Migration Cookbook

This draft document provides guidance on migrating from AutoSys version 4.5.x to Release 11.3 (R11.3). It outlines the key steps for environment preparation, installing R11.3 components, preparing the 4.5 environment, testing the migration, and transitioning to the new system. The document scope is to provide "best practices" for the most common migration configurations but may not address all scenarios. It is intended to supplement, not replace, official product documentation.

Status of this document is DRAFT: Please note that this document will be undergoing updates and additions over

the next few months as the R11.3 migration procedure for the 4.5.x instances is tested and verified on a range of different platforms. One key reason this document is marked draft is because of the many enhancements to how jobs are defined and stored in the Database. There were many JIL definitions that were acceptable in 4.5.x, but are not allowed in R11.3. And though we know of many such caveats, we realize there are many variations used by our customers that we have yet to encounter. Therefore, whenever there is a discrepancy between what is noted in this document and what is stated in the official product R11.3 documentation, always default to the R11.3 documentation unless there is a specific statement on that step explaining the difference. It is our goal to remove the DRAFT designation in the future, after we have verified that no significant migration scenarios are missing and all the known critical problems have been identified and documented.

The scope of this document is to provide best practice or guidance to those who intend to migrate from AutoSys version 4.5.x to R11.3. This intention of this doc is not to supersede the product documentation, nor is it intended to address every possible configuration. This document is limited to the most common configurations support encounters, and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of configurations. In other words, you will not want to use this cookbook as a substitute for the documentation - please consider it a supplementary document. This document may also change without notice - as issues arise with the general user base, the doc may be updated to reflect steps that help avoid new found issues.

Environment Preparation System Access Database 8192 Tablespace Size or greater 800MB free for TS/Device Standard TS Naming with Oracle ASM Database Client User creation and configuration Unix/Linux # login as root groupadd autosys # add the autosys group, use mkgroup on aix useradd -s /bin/sh -g autosys -G dba -d /home/autosys autosys # example passwd autosys # set your autosys user password vi ~autosys/.profile # or whatever appropriate profile so that it includes: ORACLE_HOME= #this example uses Oracle, same applies for $SYBASE TNS_ADMIN # if not the default PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH # prepend oracle binaries to path LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH NOTE: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is applicable to Solaris/Linux: HP is SHLIB_PATH, and AIX is LIBPATH. Use the lib32 path or location where 32-bit client libraries are located, as they are required for autosys to connect to the database. Test your connection with the database with native client: sqlplus sys@tns_alias as sysdba #for oracle isql -Usa -Ssql_host # then provide password The above test does 2 things. 1) it makes sure you have the privileged db user password, and it makes sure that you can connect with the os user, autosys.
