Migration

This page shows how to migrate the Xtract Universal configuration from one machine to another.

Prerequisites

  • Create a backup of the config folder that is located in the installation directory of the current machine, e.g., C:\Program Files\XtractUniversal\config.
  • Make sure that the same version of Xtract Universal is installed on both machines.

Tip

To install a matching version of Xtract Universal on the new machine, use the XtractUniversalSetup.exe from the installation directory of the current machine, e.g., in C:\Program Files\XtractUniversal.

Migration to a Different Machine

The Xtract Universal configuration can be migrated entirely (full migration) or partially.

  • Conduct a full migration when replacing a machine completely.
    For a full migration, restore the entire config and private folders from your backup on the new machine (full migration).
  • Conduct a partial migration when moving parts of your setup to a different machine, e.g., if you transport defined extraction types from a test environment to a production environment.
    For a partial migration, restore the parts of the backup you want to migrate by copying only the relevant configuration files, e.g., the sources or extractions folder, on the new machine.

Restart the Xtract Universal Service if you copy the server folder to the new machine.

Note

When migrating to a new server, a new license file must be issued for that server. Contact our sales team at sales@theobald-software.com for more information.

Configuration Files

All configuration files of defined extraction types, sources and the server are stored in the sub-directory config of the Xtract Universal installation directory, e.g., C:\Program Files\XtractUniversal\config. Use the config directory to set up a version control system or to create manual backups.
