Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Upgrade Guide for Microsoft Windows

Create Directory Server Image (Optional)

In cases where Release 5 Directory Server is being installed on a computer different from where the Release 4 version resides, an image of the Release 4 version should be created on the computer where Release 5 Directory Server is being installed. The image is needed to automate data migration (using the dsmig.bat) to the new Release 5 Directory Server instances.

Release 4 image includes all schema files, configuration files, security files, and database files, in an identical layout to the original Directory Server 5.x file structure. The image is needed to perform data migration to the new Release 5 Directory Server instances.
