7 ChangeAuditor 1 Chapter 1: Important Notices and FAQs ChangeAuditor 4.x has changed the database schema in such a manner that upgrading an existing database to the new schema is not possible. Because of this, ChangeAuditor 4.x requires a brand new database to be created. Therefore, ChangeAuditor 4.x provides a migration utility to help you automate the process of moving events, searches, alerts, etc. from your existing 3.x database to your new 4.x database. This migration utility is installed automatically with the ChangeAuditor Client and is called the Database Migration wizard. This chapter details some important notes and answers frequently asked questions regarding the migration process. It is strongly recommended that you review this chapter before you start the data migration. What is the database migration? Due to the extensive changes made to the database schema in 4.x, you will need to migrate your 3.x database if you want to view/retrieve your existing events, searches, and alerts from the ChangeAuditor 4.x Client. In addition, this utility will copy your 3.x monitoring points, agent configuration, repository configuration and audit event severity assignments to your 4.x database. NOTE: When migrating data from 2.x or 3.x, Built-In Searches and Alerts are not migrated. If you have enabled built-in alerts that you wish to use in the new 4.x environment, you must edit the alert and change the alert name to a new, unique name. The alert will save as a copy in My Alerts and will be migrated to 4.x. Do I have to migrate my database? No, ChangeAuditor 4.x does not require you to migrate your old database to the new one. You can simply create a brand new 4.x database and configure your repository to use the new database and the skip the migration steps of the installation. Please note, however, that you will not be able to view/retrieve your existing events in the 4.x database and you will also have to manually re-create any searches, alerts, agent configurations, and repository configurations in the new 4.x database if you elect not to run the database migration. Important Notices and FAQs

8 2 ChangeAuditor What is lost if I do not migrate my existing database? If you choose not to migrate your database you will not be able to view/retrieve your existing events in the new 4.x database. In addition you will have to manually re-create any searches, alerts, agent configurations, and repository configurations in the new 4.x database. If you do not migrate your data, you can keep the 3.x database online and connect to it with a 3.x client only to view historical events. After you have fully deployed 4.x agents, however, all new events will only go into the 4.x database. What access rights are required to run the Database Migration Wizard? The migration utility must be run as a User with Read access to the Global Catalog. The destination (4.x) database credentials must have either db owner or ChangeAuditor_Administrators role access. For more information on the ChangeAuditor_Administrators role access, please refer to the ChangeAuditor Installation Guide. The source (3.x) database must have db owner access. Where should I run the Database Migration Wizard? For the best performance, it is recommended that you run the Database Migration wizard on your SQL Server machine. We recommend that the 4.x Client be installed on that machine using the appropriate NetPro ChangeAuditor Client 4 msi. Can I run more than one instance of the Database Migration Wizard? No, to avoid duplicated events the database migration process will NOT allow more than one instance of the migration utility to be run at any given time. What's the difference between the Copy Configuration (Step 3 in CASetup) and the Database Migration Wizard? Is it necessary to run both of these utilities? The Copy Configuration option in CASetup will ONLY copy monitored objects, agent configurations, repository configuration, and audit event severity assignments. No events, searches, or alerts will be copied. The Database Migration Wizard will copy everything that the Copy Configuration does, as well as searches, alerts, and events. If you skip the Copy Configuration step during the installation, all the information will be copied anyway using the Database Migration wizard. How long will the configuration import take? The configuration import (Step 3 in CASetup) in most environments will take only a few minutes. In environments that have a lot of servers joined to the Active Directory forest, the configuration import can take considerably longer. For example, an environment that has 30,000 servers (member servers or domain controllers) will take about 1.5 hours to complete. Important Notices and FAQs

9 ChangeAuditor 3 How long will the database migration take? The length of time that the database migration (Database Migration wizard) is based on all of the following: the number and type of events that are in your 3.x database the hardware that the SQL Server is running the number of other SQL connections that are using that same machine. For example: Customer A, has 7.8 Million events in a ChangeAuditor 3.4 database. The database is roughly 15GB in size. Running the Database Migration wizard on the SQL server with the following hardware configuration will take about two days to complete the migration process: Dual AMD Opteron GHZ Processors 15GB of RAM Single 80GB HD Windows Server x 160GB HDs Striped SQL MDF Files 1 x 300GB HD SQL LDF Files Customer B, has 200K events in a ChangeAuditor 3.5 database. The database is roughly 100MB in size. Running the Database Migration Wizard on the SQL server with the following hardware configuration will take approximately five hours to complete the migration process: P4 3.0GHZ 2GB of RAM Single 80 IDE HD - Windows Server 2003 \ SQL Server 2005 Can I schedule the Database Migration Wizard to run at certain times? Yes, the Database Migration wizard can be run with the Windows Task Scheduler (or another third-party task scheduler), and be scheduled to run at any time. See Command Line Options on page 24 for more information on using the /auto command line option for scheduling purposes. What if I need to stage my agent deployment over the course of several days or weeks? No problem, this is fully supported. You can maintain both the 3.x and 4.x repositories until all of your agents are fully deployed. After all of your agents are deployed, you can then remove the older repository and clients. Can my 3.x agents send events to a 4.x repository? No, 3.x agents can only communicate with a 3.x repository. Similarly, 4.x agents can only communicate with a 4.x repository. Can I run two different versions (e.g, 3.x and 4.x) of the repository on the same machine? Yes, see the migration instructions described later in this document. Important Notices and FAQs

10 4 ChangeAuditor Can I run two different versions of the client on the same machine? No, the 4.x client install will upgrade any existing client that is already installed. Only the repository supports parallel installations. Can I run two different versions of the agent on the same machine? No, the Agent Deployment Wizard will upgrade the agents on the severs selected in the Agent Configuration screen. Only the repository supports parallel installations. Can I run the migration utility multiple times to capture the latest data from my 3.x database? Yes, the Database Migration wizard can be stopped and started at any time. It can be run as many times as needed. When the utility is restarted, it will continue to migrate only the events that are left, and start where it last left off. It will copy the newest events first, from the 3.x database to the 4.x database. For example: Customer A has 12 months of data in his 3.x database (January 2006 through December 2006). The Database Migration wizard will begin copying with December, then November, then October, etc. If you have new events that get forwarded into the 3.x database by the 3.x agents, while the migration utility is running, those events will be copied the next time the database migration utility is run again. Make sure to run the Database Migration wizard one final time after all of your agents are upgraded and now using the 4.x repository. NOTE: Importing your configuration, whether it is done with the Copy Configuration step or the Database Migration wizard will only be done ONCE. Running the Copy Configuration step subsequent times will NOT import any new configuration data. Can I migrate my 2.x database? Yes, see the migration steps described later in this document. Can I migrate a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) consolidated database? No, this is not supported. Consolidated databases will need to be rebuilt after the individual repository databases are migrated to 4.x. Please contact NetPro Technical Support for more details. NOTE: A consolidated database refers to the database that is created when you installed the separate SSIS package to copy data from multiple repositories into a single database. If errors are encountered, does the migration utility stop or continue? The migration utility will continue if it encounters any warnings, and it will stop if there are any critical errors. Important Notices and FAQs

11 ChangeAuditor 5 I received warnings about some events, what happened? In most cases this is not a problem. The database migration utility will attempt to resolve some event data in Active Directory so that additional parameters can be recorded. For example, for some objects, the utility will try to resolve a Distinguished Name into a GUID, using the Active Directory Global Catalog. If the object is deleted, the migration utility will log a warning and move on to the next event. In most cases this is harmless and can be ignored. Does the database migration utility have any logs in case any errors are encountered? Yes, logs will be generated by both the Copy Configuration (Step 3 of CASetup) as well as the Database Migration wizard. The Copy Configuration log is placed in the Temp folder in the Windows system root folder. For example: C:\Windows\Temp\CADatabaseImport.dll.log OR C:\WINNT\Temp\CADatabaseImport.dll.log There are two (2) separate logs that are generated for the Database Migration wizard: CADatabaseImport.exe.nptlog CADatabaseImportUI.exe.nptlog The Database Migration Wizard logs are placed in the Client installation folder. For example: C:\Program Files\Netpro\Compliance\Client\ChangeAuditor\CADatabaseImport.exe.nptlog C:\Program Files\Netpro\Compliance\Client\ChangeAuditor\CADatabaseImportUI.exe.nptlog OR C:\Program Files\Netpro\ChangeAuditor\Client\CADatabaseImport.exe.nptlog C:\Program Files\Netpro\ChangeAuditor\Client\CADatabaseImportUI.exe.nptlog Is there any "clean-up" required after I migrate? Remove the 3.x or 2.x repositories and clients Detach and archive or delete the old 3.x database How does this affect SecurityManager? The 4.x Inspector does not communicate with 3.x agents, and the 4.x agents do not communicate with the 3.x Inspector. The SecurityManager Inspector should be upgraded when all of the agents have been upgraded to 4.x. However, in a long lasting, staged migration, the Inspector should be upgraded at a time such that maximum agent coverage is maintained. Important Notices and FAQs

13 ChangeAuditor 7 Chapter 2: Migrating a ChangeAuditor 3.x Database This chapter discusses the steps required to migrate a 3.x database to the new 4.x database, which is required if you want to view/retrieve your existing events, searches, and alerts from the ChangeAuditor 4.x Client. For a detailed description of the Database Migration wizard, please refer to Chapter 4: Database Migration Wizard on page 21. For detailed instructions on installing/upgrading the different ChangeAuditor components, please refer to the ChangeAuditor Installation Guide. ChangeAuditor 3.x Database in Single Repository Environment To migrate a 3.x database in a single repository environment: 1. Launch CASetup.exe. 2. Select Step 2: Repository Installation to install the new 4.x repository. NOTE: This can be on the same machine as the existing 3.x repository or a different machine. Migrating a ChangeAuditor 3.x Database

14 8 ChangeAuditor 3. Once the new 4.x repository is installed and running, run Step 3: Copy Configuration from ChangeAuditor 3.x. This step copies the monitoring points, agent configurations, repository configuration and audit event severity assignments from the 3.x database into the 4.x database. Performing this step at this point of the migration ensures that when new agents are deployed, their agent configuration assignments will be retained from the 3.x database. When you select this option, the ChangeAuditor 3.x Configuration Import dialog will be displayed prompting you to enter the SQL server instance and credentials for the source (3.x) database. Once you have entered the requested information, select the Import button to start copying the 3.x configuration into the new 4.x database. Migrating a ChangeAuditor 3.x Database

15 ChangeAuditor 9 4. Back on the ChangeAuditor Installation Options screen, run Step 4: Client and Deployment Wizard Installation to install the 4.x client, Agent Deployment wizard and Database Migration wizard. NOTE: If you install the new 4.x client on the same machine, it will upgrade the old 3.x client, and you will no longer have client access to your 3.x data unless you install a new 3.x client on another machine. 5. (Optional) From the Start menu, run the Database Migration wizard (Start Programs NetPro ChangeAuditor Database Migration Wizard) to migrate your 3.x events, searches and alerts to the new 4.x database. 6.

Run the Database Migration wizard (Start Programs NetPro ChangeAuditor Database Migration Wizard) one last time to migrate the remaining 3.x events to the 4.x database. 9. Once all of your agents are upgraded to 4.x, uninstall the 3.x repository and 3.x client. ChangeAuditor 3.x Database in Multiple Repository Environment The migration process for a multi-repository environment, is basically the same as that for a single repository environment. However, you want to make sure to leave at least one of your 3.x repositories and clients running until after you have completed the 4.x agent deployment. To migrate a 3.x database in a multiple repository environment: 1. Launch CASetup.exe. 2. Select Step 2: Repository Installation to install the new 4.x repository on one of your existing repository machines. NOTE: This can be on the same machine as an existing 3.x repository or a different machine. Migrating a ChangeAuditor 3.x Database
