  1. Take a backup of the database.

  2. Stop all services in ZENworks Primary Server.

  3. On the database server, download and extract the migrate_postgres.sh.zip file.

  4. Download and install the PostgreSQL version supported by ZENworks.

    If you are planning to upgrade to ZENworks , ensure that you install PostgreSQL 11.4.

  5. Change the permission for the script by running the chmod 755 migrate_script.sh command.

  6. The script log will be saved in the /tmp/migrate_postgres.log location.

  7. Run the following script:

    ./migrate_postgres.sh -p <PostgreSQL_Installed_Directory> --database <zenworks_db_name> --password <superuser password>

    Example: ./migrate_postgres.sh -p /usr/pgsql-11/ --database zenworks_database --password novell

NOTE:

  • To see all the available options, run the script without any argument. (Example: ./migrate_postgres.sh)

  • After migrating to the external PostgreSQL, ensure that you manually clean the OEM PostgreSQL installation.
