Question by Anoh B. · Oct 01, 2014 at 07:49 AM ·

Upgrade from 5.6 to 6.0

Is there a simple process to use to upgrade dynaTrace 5.6 to 6.0 similar to what most upgradable applications use?  For example, run the installation file for 6.0, which in turn recognizes that 5.6 is already installed and proceed to upgrade it.  This is not what I have been reading in most of the 6.0 upgrade documentation.  The upgrade is done in multiple steps.  First, install the new version and second, use the migration utility to migrate the files, etc... 

Would you please school me if there is a very simple way to upgrade to 6.0.

 

Regards,

Anoh Brou

Helpful tips as I was able to successfully migrate our environment using the DT Migration Tool for Dynatrace 6.

Reference Links:
Dynatrace Migration Tool Guide
Dynatrace 6.0 Migration Guide
Dynatrace 6.0 Migration Guide - Part 1: Preparation and Prerequisites
Dynatrace 6.0 Migration Guide - Part 2: Upgrade Server, Collectors, and Clients
Dynatrace 6.0 Migration Guide - Part 3: Upgrade Agents
Dynatrace 6.0 Migration Guide - Part 4: Verification

Navigation of the Migration Guide:

I exported the separate sections of the guide to separate PDF files.

The DT Migration Tool is a command-line driven Java JAR file. I expected as much considering Dynatrace was developed with Java.

For example purposes only, we performed our migration in two steps following the DT Migration Tool Guide.

Example - Migration Step 1 (Save Dynatrace 5.6 settings)
java -jar "D:\DTMIG\TOOL\dtmigration.jar" -migration -sourceDTHome "D:\Program Files\Dynatrace\dynaTrace 5.6.0" -targetArchiveDir "D:\DTMIG\DT56_Backup_Migration"

Example - Migration Step 2 (Migrate Dynatrace 5.6 settings in Dynatrace 6.0)
java -jar "D:\DTMIG\TOOL\dtmigration.jar" -migration -sourceArchive "D:\DTMIG\DT56_Backup_Migration\hostname_2014-xx-xx_xx.xx.xx.dtma" -targetDTHome "D:\Program Files\dynaTrace\Dynatrace 6.0.0"

Afterwards we had to manually cleanup a few remaining items such as reconnecting to LDAP and reconnecting to the Performance Warehouse.

I hope this helps provide a basic overview of our migration experience,
Best of luck with yours!
