27.4 Reverting to the ZENworks Sybase Database from the ZENworks Oracle Database

ZENworks allows you migrate the data from an internal or external Sybase database to an Oracle database installed on a device that does not have ZENworks installed.You can revert to ZENworks Sybase database at a later time if you have retained the ZENworks Sybase database files after migrating the data to Oracle.

To revert to ZENworks Sybase database, perform the following tasks:

  1. On the device where you run the migration utility, rename the following files:

    • zdm.xml.bak to zdm.xml
    • zenaudit.xml.bak to zenaudit.xml
    • dmaccounts.properties.bak to dmaccounts.properties
    • dmmappings.properties.bak to dmmappings.properties

    The files are located in the ZENworks_installation_path\conf\datamodel directory on Windows and in the /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/datamodel directory on Linux.

  2. Restart the ZENworks services on the ZENworks Servers in the Management Zone.
