WBI Monitor Database Migration

The database migration to WBI Monitor 4.2.4 (Fix Pack1) can be done only if the existing database belongs to WBI Monitor version 4.2.4. If the existing database belongs to an earlier version than v4.2.4 (version 4.2.3 and before), then you cannot migrate the database directly to the current version. In this case you must upgrade your existing database incrementally to version 4.2.4. This means you must upgrade the database from each version to the next higher version in each step. Afterwards, you can upgrade the database to the recent version of WBI Monitor.

The database migration retains the code page of the upgraded database. That means if the existing database that belongs to v4.2.4 has a specific code page (for example IBM-1252), then the upgraded database will still have the same code page. Therefore, if you intend to run WBI Monitor in an internationalized environment, then you must export all tables of the WBI Monitor schema (defaults to WFM unless changed) and import these tables into a newly created database with UTF-8 code page before the database migration. Please consult your Database Administrator for information about about exporting and importing data across databases.
