Now that you've finished your Vault migration and upgrade, what's next?
00:09
Let's take a look at your stored documents.
00:11
If you are using content center libraries, you will need to create a new library partition and copy those custom libraries.
00:19
Migrating custom libraries after the upgrade, you must make a new partition,
00:23
and then this partition is needed for each product release year that may access your Vault.
00:28
So if you're going to have documents that were created in 2014, 2018, 2019, you are going to need a partition for each of those.
00:36
Libraries must also be migrated or installed in each of these partitions,
00:41
and it will go through a migration much like the one that you did during the installation.
00:46
You can download or install new standard libraries for the newest. They are released yearly by Autodesk.
00:52
But any previous year libraries that you may use must be migrated to the new partition so that the older files can access reference parts.
01:00
So a drawing created using parts from a 2018 library needs to access a 2018 library in order to open or update.
01:08
This also applies to custom content center libraries.
01:11
You will need to make a copy of the custom content center library and then migrate it.
01:16
Updating your CAD files.
01:18
Update Inventor files using the task scheduler.
01:21
One of the reasons or some of the reasons to do this or the pros to updating the Inventor files,
01:27
Your new features are immediately unlocked and you are immediately able to update to the new content center files.
01:34
The negatives to doing this are the process can be lengthy and if done all at once or can cause inconsistencies if done as needed.
01:41
And updated files are not backward compatible, so you do need to make sure that all of your CAD versions have been upgraded.
01:48
Now that we've been through all of the information, you are ready for Go-Live day.
01:54
Things to remember on Go Live day: Planning - follow your plan.
01:59
If you've done the testing already, follow the process that worked in testing.
02:03
If you have any issues, contact support, and when you're done, make sure you do a backup.
02:09
As I've mentioned before, make sure your designated support specialist, your value-added reseller,
02:15
your Autodesk account team know the plan date for your migration so that they can make sure the appropriate people are prepared.
02:22
If you do have any problems, create a Severity 1 ticket,
02:26
and these must be created over the phone, and then you can work with support to resolve the issues.
02:32
The following help resources are included in the resources PDF.
02:37
The Hub is a place to learn, connect, and to share.
02:41
You have access to articles, previous webcasts, upcoming webcasts, sharing the expertise with industries and peers.
02:48
And then this list of links will be available in the PDF for you.
02:53
But as I mentioned throughout the presentation, there are instructions on how to do a B2B migration, how to install SQL,
03:01
what the Vault server requirements are, how to install Vault on Windows 2016 and 2019.
03:06
This one will include how to set up IIS, how to upgrade a Vault server, how to create the alternate Snapshot method,
03:14
what the Replication Technology is in 2022, how to upgrade a Replicated Vault,
03:20
network license service models, validating your backup, doing testing of migration,
03:25
and how to upgrade SQL and the SQL versions that are allowed.
03:29
Thank you everybody for watching today.
03:31
And again, this should prepare you for any future upgrades.
03:35
And, as always, you can reach out should you need any support.
