Is there any way to upgrade ClearDB plan from Bluemix. When I click on a better plan it creates a new ClearDB instance. I would like to upgrade without needing to migrate data to a new instance.
We do not currently support upgrade in place for IBM Cloud ClearDB databases. This is a roadmap item that will be implemented in the near future. In the interim, you will need to deploy a new instance and use a tool like MySQL Workbench which has a convenient upgrade wizard to migrate your data to the new plan. We recommend you place your application in maintenance mode during the migration.

I would like to know the steps involved in migrating the Oracle Iplanet webserver(v6) to WAS Liberty profile. Also please let me know the feasibility and the challenges involved.
The changes needed will depend on the application being migrated. You can use the binary scanner tool to scan your application for changes needed to migrate to liberty. Run the tool against your war/ear/jar file(s) with the --sourceAppServer=other --targetAppServer=liberty options.
We have a situation where IBM Data Replication CDC for Db2 on i ver 6.1 (AS400) is installed as the source and Oracle 10.2.x being the target. A hardware upgrade is being scheduled on the source with a new AS400 box coming in, the existing database would be migrated/transferred to the new box. The Oracle box will stay the same and only an upgrade of the CDC agent is to be done. Management Console and Access Server are going to be upgraded too as part of this exercise.
In this scenario, we want to install CDC ver 11.4 on the new AS400 box to take advantage of the latest version and fixes. My queries are, (some might be silly, my apologies)
Would this be an install or upgrade on the new AS400 box as the database contains CDC related information?
What would happen to the subscriptions, would they have to be created again or an export/import of subscriptions work?
Will a refresh have to be triggered?
Given the target is the same and source is a new server, what are the implications and how to resolve them?
You should be aware that CDC v6 and CDC v 10.2.x are no longer supported (except for the zSeries 10.2.1 version) so if you have any issues during your migration process you may find it difficult to get support.
In general terms, you should be able to install something like CDC 11.3.3 on the current iSeries in advance of the migration as this version of CDC supports OS/400 6.1 and 7.1 7.2 and 7.3. Then you can save/restore the CDC product library along with all the other libraries. Do not forget to add the TCP/IP listener port service as well. If there is a change of hostname or IP address, you should follow the documented procedure to update the datastore properties in the Access Server https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTRGZ_11.4.0/com.ibm.cdcdoc.mcadminguide.doc/tasks/handlinghostportforsource.html
Before you restart operations on the new iSeries, you will either need to mark table capture point for all source tables or use SETJRNPOS to manually specify the restart position for replication as the target bookmarks are based on the old journal receiver chain and on the new system this will different
I prefer to upgrade pre-install mainly because it avoids making two changes at the same time. If you had an issue with CDC after migration and then upgrading you would have to determine if it was the new version or the migration that was the cause. However, upgrading the migrated CDC instance immediately after the migration should be OK.
If the IP address or hostname used in the Access Server datastore configuration is changed, you will need to change this following this procedure

We have a mobile apps running on v7.1. And now we want to migrate to v8.0. I have read the migration cookbook, however it does not seem to explain the following:
How to migrate the existing user? The user has already subscribe to push-notification. I believe the information are stored in mobile first database, and I read from this it does not have a script to migrate the database.
How do we keep the existing user information? So, the migration process will require 2 versions running in parallel and slowly move the user to the new version? It seems that we cannot “upgrade” the old server to the new version, is that correct?
You cannot migrate the user information from MFP 7.x to 8.0 as the security architecture is completely different between these versions.
The "SQL Server Database Migration Wizard" aka SQL Azure Migration Wizard previously located at http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/, but it is gone.
I attempted to search via Google for its new home, but I cannot find it.
Does anyone know where this tool has gone?
It is replaced with Data Migration assistant..
Data Migration Assistant (DMA) enables you to upgrade to a modern data platform by detecting compatibility issues that can impact database functionality on your new version of SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. It recommends performance and reliability improvements for your target environment. It allows you to not only move your schema and data, but also uncontained objects from your source server to your target server
DMA replaces all previous versions of SQL Server Upgrade Advisor and should be used for upgrades for most SQL Server versions (see below for supported versions).

(I searched for a long time too before I found it.)
That code did not work out of the box for me. Took me about 30-40 minutes to get it to build. But seems to work fine once I got it to build and run.
I am trying to migrate reports from BOBJ 4.1 SP5 Patch 3 from Development to Production using Upgrade management tool.
However after the upgrade is completed, I see that no security for folders or reports is migrated. Is there anything I need to select or the Upgrade management cannot migrate security.
Best way to "migrate" (publish I said) is Central Management Console > Promotion Management. With this option you can choose whatever you select (folders, access levels, universes, connections...)
Is this what you were looking for?
Best regards
