OS i actually REHL 6.8 Is it possible to migrate Data only from an 2.3.4 Installation to 2.4.4? We need to migrate a couple of instances from 2.3.4 to a recent version but we do not need to have all certificates and configuration transfered. As the export2?.py and import244.py does not work (see other ticket) we need a working upgrade path.

2.3.x is really old; I think it's better to install 2.4.x series in another VM and migrate that data by hand or manually. However we can check locally to find out if there is any suitable way to do that with scripts. Zamil/Arun? What do you think?

No that wouldn't work. It's for a different data structure.

>> are you working on upgrade instructions? No plan at this moment. As we are are going to release Gluu Server v3.0.0 on Jan, 2017; may be we will work on something like upgrading 2.3.x after that. For now, we are helping our Enterprise customers to install, configure and migrate versions in manual way from 2.3.x.

We have an update script from 2.3.6 --> 2.4.2, but not from 2.4.3-->2.4.4. As demand for this is not that high, it's probably not going to be written any time soon. However, given your clustered deployment, upgrade is going to have to be handled carefully in any case. I think the best way to upgrade would be to setup a new cluster using 2.4.4, and tactically move over data. We can help document a procedure for this. You'd have to migrate over 1. user data 2. OpenID Connect clients / SAML SP 3. custom LDAP schema 4. customizations (forms, css, libraries, etc.) One thought... it might pay to wait for Gluu Server 3.0.0. This version is in QA right now, estimated release is 1/1. Because it's so soon, it might pay to wait a little bit.
