Problems running beta migration tool

Legacy Uncategorised

We just purchased a license for octopus and I’m trying to get the data migrated over from the 0.9 server and I’m running into a problem with running the beta migration tool. Upon clicking the beta migration icon I get the screenshot attached.

I tried running tools.exe from the commandline with “migrate” as an argument but I get the same message. Any ideas?

I just installed octopus server version 1.1.8.1430

Hi Sean,

Thanks for getting in touch and I’m sorry about the issue youv’e encountered.

There’s no migration tool to go from a 0.9 schema (SQL) to a 1.1 schema (RavenDB), but there is a migration tool to go to 0.9->1.0 and then 1.0 to 1.1 (the 0.9 migration tool was removed in the 1.1 release because I believed most people had migrated to 1.0 already).

So the steps would be:

  1. Uninstall Octopus
  2. Install Octopus 1.0 (use this version)
  3. Use the migration tool (a shortcut will appear in your start menu) to import from SQL into your RavenDB database
  4. Install the latest Octopus 1.1 installer and when restarting the Octopus service allow the 1.0 to 1.1 migration to execute.

I hope this helps, let me know if you hit any issues on the way.

Perfect! That worked. Thanks a lot man. The new 1.1 version is looking real good. You have no idea how much time this tool saves my company. Thank you!
