Migration to 8.1.3

The 8.1.3 repository is not compatible with earlier versions of the repository. A new repository database must be created as part of the GRAT installation process.

From 8.1.2

Start

1. From the 8.1.2 Genesys Rules Authoring Server:
1. Click on each tenant and export the templates associated with that tenant as an XML file.
2. Click on each rule package that you wish to migrate and export as an XML file.
2. Create a new database for GRAT 8.1.3 (leaving the old one in place).
3. Install 8.1.3 Genesys Rules System.
4. Start 8.1.3 Genesys Rules Authoring Server. This creates the tables inside the new database.
5. Log into 8.1.3 Genesys Rules Authoring Server.
6. For each tenant, import the template XML file (from step 1a).
7. For each tenant, and under each solution, click on New Rule Package and import the corresponding rule package XML file (click the Auto-save option).
8. Redeploy each rule package to the corresponding 8.1.3 Genesys Rules Engine(s).
9. Optionally, fom 8.1.3 Genesys Rules Deployment Tool, you may import the templates from the 8.1.3 Genesys Rules Authoring Server.

End

From 8.1.1

Start

1. Upgrade to 8.1.2 GRS.
2. Follow the 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 migration procedure.

End

See the Genesys Rules Authoring Tool Help for explicit steps for exporting and importing templates and rules.

Important

Running an 8.1.3 Rules Authoring Server against an 8.1.2 repository can result in a corrupted repository that will no longer be useable by any version of the Rules Authoring Server.
