Introduction
New customers install DirX Audit according to the DirX Audit Installation Guide and work with the product. Existing customers must migrate their environment.
Migration from DirX Audit 7.1, 7.1 SP1, 7.1 SP2 and 7.2
Migration from DirX Audit 7.1, 7.1 SP1, 7.1 SP2 and 7.2 requires you to perform preparation steps and an upgrade installation including the initial configuration and then perform the migration steps described in the next chapters.
The migration procedure consists of the audit messages database (Data DB) update and the history entries database (History DB) update and the configuration database (Config DB) update.
