Description:

How to migrate the database objects to v.2.5.7?

Resolution:

You can export the old system as XML from the NameService using the Name Service Manager in the GUI you can then import this XML file into the new system using the import XML facility.

If the your old system doesn't support export XML ( it was introduced after version 2.0.0 was released) you can federate the old and new naming systems and then use the export XML facility on 2.5 to save the 2.0 names as XML and then import them into 2.5.

You can do this by :

Start your v2.0.x NameService
Start your v2.5.x NameService

In the v2.5 GUI do the following:

1. Bring up the NameService Manager
2. Right click and select "CORBA Object Browser"
3. A new screen appear with the IOR of the v2.5.x Name Service. There is a new icon appear at the top-right of the screen, which is a folder with "IOR" written to the left. The tool tip says "Load IOR" -- click this button
4. Using the directory browser, go to the NameService.ior file written by v2.0.x NamingServer
5. Select that IOR
6. The v2.0.x NameService IOR will be displayed. 
7. Right click under the IOR and select "NameServiceManager"
8. You should now see your v2.0.x naming hierarchy.
9. Right click on "Naming Service Manager" (at the top of your hierarchy) and select "Export xml"
10. Type in the file name you want to save to
11. Go back to v2.5.x Name Service Manager screen, right click and select "Import xml"
12. Select the xml file just created. 

Your v.2.5.x NameService should not contain your v2.0.x naming hierarchy.
