migratedb
Purpose
Copies FlowForce Server data from a previous instance-data directory to the current one and upgrades the FlowForce database to the latest version if necessary. This command is invoked by the FlowForce installation scripts when there is already a previous version of FlowForce Server installed, so you do not typically need to run it. Running this command may be useful when you migrate FlowForce Server to a new machine or when you restore the instance-data directory from a backup (see Backup and Recovery).
If you only need to upgrade the FlowForce database version to the latest one, it is sufficient to run upgradedb.
You can also migrate data through the FlowForce Server Setup Page.
Before using the migratedb command, you must stop the FlowForce Server and FlowForce Web Server services.
