HI:

I am new here and with one question. I have develop small program based on alfresco 4.2.c  and Postgre database on windows server. Since the host machine need to be changed to Linux Ubuntu. So I have to do the migration.

I wonder is it possible to migrate window Postgre database direct to  Linux version?

Appreciate any suggestion!

Hi Gao,

Welcome to the Alfresco community, we are glad you are here.

You should probably read this wiki page:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore

Because you are doing a dump of PostgreSQL on Windows and a restore on Linux, you may want to investigate in some of the PostgreSQL documentation and forums if there are any issues around that. In general, when you do a dump of a relational database, you are producing SQL statements and those are cross-platform.

Alfresco needs both the database and the content store (including the Lucene Indexes) so if your goal is to migrate the repository exactly as it exists now, you'll need to move both over. That procedure is covered in that wiki page.
