Summary

If you created your backup with a Jama Connect® XML file or with SQL proprietary database software, you must manually migrate specific directories (folders).

A .jama backup file includes the database plus all necessary directories. However, an XML backup file or a proprietary database backup includes only the database.

Solution

1. Delete the directories listed below in the /data directory. These directories will be restored when you restart Jama Connect on the new server.
   • tenant
   • ActiveMQData
   • elasticsearch 
2. Migrate these directories accordingly:
   
   ** All directories and files below the given folder
3. On the new application server, set permissions and ownership for all directories with these commands:

chown -R 91:91 /data/contour 
chmod -R u+rwX /data/contour
