7.1 Creating the ZENworks Reporting data file

Create the ZR5-export-<TIME_STAMP>.dat file for migration. The data file consists of ZENworks Reporting server resources, settings, and server certificates.

To create the ZR5-export-<TIME_STAMP>.dat file:

  1. Log in to the machine where ZENworks Reporting 5 is installed.

    The login user must have an administrator privileges.

  2. Download the ZENworks_Reporting56_Migration_Utility.zip file, from the Novell Download website.

  3. Extract the ZENworks_Reporting56_Migration_Utility.zip file.

    • On Windows server, execute the ZR5-export.bat file.

    • On Linux server, execute the ZR5-export.sh file.

  4. Specify the password to encrypt the content.

    The ZR5-export-<TIME_STAMP>.dat file is created in the extracted folder.

  5. Copy the ZR5-export-<TIME_STAMP>.dat file to your local machine.

  6. Continue with the next task, see Deploying and Configuring the ZENworks Reporting 5.6.1 Appliance.

IMPORTANT:After creating the ZR5-export-<TIME_STAMP>.dat file, if you make any changes in the ZENworks Reporting server they might not be available post migration.
