Is it just SIMS, FMS and Discover that are migrated or does SOLUS3 and Intouch (if its part of SQL??) need to be done too?

 

I would say InTouch is web service pointing to instance (so its not part of SQL), however after migration probably instance name will change so it will have to be reconfigured.

I don't remember SOLUS3 setup as I try to say away from it as long as possible, so I did not have to do anything with it as was not present in first place for this migration.

Just want to revive this thread...

 

I've just downloaded tools and the setup guide. It all looks straightforward. I've been told by a local tech that it all went smoothly for him. Has anyone run this tool on their servers? It looks easy.

We did the SQL 2014 migration and apart from the FMS database being held open by another task, it all went smoothly (but we did setup SQL Standard first)

 

Just remember that you have to manually transfer the Solus3 database if you use it, but the instructions are in the S3 documentation and is reasonably straight foreword.

I'm in a 2 form intake primary. Don't think that we use SOLUS 3...

 

I've done the odd upgrade myself in the past 12 months...

 

Thing is, I think the LA are going to be charging around £1000 to do this upgrade and if I can save that money, then I probably should!!

The cost for Capita to do our migration would have been around the £400 mark based on previous updates so we decided to do it ourselves and other than spending a day at Christmas backing up our VM just in case it went wrong, the migration tool worked fine.

 

Just follow the instructions they provided and you should be able to save yourselves that £1000. Make sure you have at least a morning put aside for it, although it might only take an hour or two.

Thanks. I've let them know I'm willing to do it, if SLT decide to get the LA support in to do it then I guess that is their decision! :)

Hi,

 

Where did you download the Migration tool from? I can't find it on the new(ish) MyAccount site anywhere.

 

Thanks

Can you find the 2014 tools? It's a similar link ;)

It's listed in a downloads document. Search for "SIMS Release Download Links" then it's a document (word) on the lower right side. This has links to downloads.

Thanks vikpaw, but I just get "No document results were found for "RESOURCEID-1-2236"." when I follow the download links in the release notification. I see from another thread that I'm not the only one however so guessing there may be an issue with MyAccount. Was going to raise a support incident with Capita for this as suggested in the other thread.

When I got this it confused me, but the link was actually on that page towards the bottom right.

Just done my SQL 2014 today with no redirection. Pretty smooth but a few things happened. The Intouch key was wiped out in SIMS so called support for a new one. And migration screwed up SSM from loading re-install did the trick and re download packages. Also moved SOLUS3 and changed configs manually to new instance, everything is now running smoothly so far!
