This release of NSL introduces the slMigrationHelper tool to migrate data from an existing datastore to a new datastore. This tool is an enhanced version of the existing SLAP tool and helps in seamless migration with minimal disruption of service.
The data migrated during the migration process includes:
User variables
Application definitions
Organizational settings
Password policies
Logins
Passphrase questions and answers
The benefits are:
You do not have to install NSL in a new mode. You only need to export the data from an existing installation and then import the data to configure NSL with the new datastore.
Single restart – With this tool, you restart your workstation only once to complete the datastore migration. This is an improvement over the earlier migration process where multiple workstation restarts are required.
Seamless Migration – The entire process of exporting the data, reconfiguring NSL to the new datastore, and importing data is seamless and requires minimal manual intervention.
No uninstallation required during migration – You can continue the migration process without having to uninstall the existing NSL installation. This causes minimal disruption of service.
