How to Use the Aras Migration Analyzer
Copy
Setting Up the Database
Perform the following steps for each Aras Innovator database you want to analyze.
- Unzip the Aras Migration Analyzer package. You can do this on the server or a client machine.
Open the Nash utility page for your Innovator installation in a web browser:
http://{server}/{webalias}/Client/scripts/Nash.aspxFigure 1. Nash.aspx
- Enter credentials for an administrative user like admin or root and click Login.
- In the Aras Migration Analyzer package, open InnovatorSideUtility/AMA_UtilityMethod.xml.
- Copy the contents of AMA_UtilityMethod.xml and paste into the XML field in the Nash form.
- Click Submit to add the method to the Aras Innovator database you want to analyze.
Note
Executing this AML more than once will result in a “Method already exists” error message. If this happens, move on to the next section.
Setting Up the Code Tree
Perform the following steps for each Aras Innovator installation you want to analyze.
- Open the InnovatorServerConfig.xml file in the installation directory of your Aras Innovator instance.
- Add the following line to the file if it does not exist. If the DebugServerMethod operating parameter does exist, make sure it is set to “true”.
<operating_parameter key="DebugServerMethod” value="true” /> - Save the InnovatorServerConfig.xml file.
Note
After you finish running the analysis, be sure to come back to this file and set the DebugServerMethod operating parameter to “false”. Leaving the parameter enabled for long periods of time cause many log files to accumulate on the server.
