IBM Mobilefirst migration to v8.0 - user migration


We have a mobile apps running on v7.1. And now we want to migrate to v8.0. I have read the migration cookbook, however it does not seem to explain the following:

How to migrate the existing user? The user has already subscribe to push-notification. I believe the information are stored in mobile first database, and I read from this it does not have a script to migrate the database.

How do we keep the existing user information? So, the migration process will require 2 versions running in parallel and slowly move the user to the new version? It seems that we cannot “upgrade” the old server to the new version, is that correct?


Solution

  • You cannot migrate the user information from MFP 7.x to 8.0 as the security architecture is completely different between these versions.
