Issue Details

When I migrated the SystemLink environment to a new server using SystemLink Migration Tool, all the files on the file server are overwritten. Is there any way to prevent this?

Solution

You can choose to copy or to not copy the files on the file server by using the following flags when using the Migration tool.
  • If you don't want to copy the file itself, use the flags below.
--files --files-metadata-only
  • If you also want to copy the files, use the flags below.
--files-change-file-store-root [NEW_ROOT]

Additional Information

There are options that can be specified with flags for other parts that can be migrated with the Migration tool, which can be confirmed in this document.
