Migrate CF9 Solr collections to CF10?

[WolfShade]

Hello, everyone.

I was just informed by my SA that our new development environment is going to be CF10 (YAY!).

The current development environment is CF9, and we have one Verity collection that we will have to migrate to Solr (shouldn't be an issue), and MANY Solr collections, all ginormous, that we need to migrate to the CF10 server.

The SA says that he's been trying to put the collection files into a .car file, but that keeps breaking.

Is there an easier, more effective way of migrating our CF9 Solr collections to CF10?

Respectfully,

Has ANYONE successfully migrated CF9 Solr collections to a CF10 environment?

The question is, has anyone listening here done so? And would they speak up if so.

So about migrating them, have you tried simply moving the directories containing them? You could then redefine them in the other server by pointing to them, which is all that the collection indication in the CF Admin does, I’m pretty sure. I don’t think it HAS to create them, per se, or that doing so does anything other than create the dirs, and create the files within them if needed. It’s worth a try with some single one as a test.

To be clear, I would not expect this to be something unique to or different in CF10, so if you’ve been googling based on that, just focus on finding if anyone has migrated CF Solr collections from one instance or machine to another. The same concept would apply.

HTH.

Hi, Charlie,

Thanks for your reply.  While I did start out Google-ing specifically "cf9 to cf10 solr" migrate move copy, when that produced nothing I made it more generic (as you suggested) and was finding nothing but "migrate Verity to Solr" results; which will come in handy when we get to the point where we need to migrate the one Verity collection to Solr.

The SA said that he was trying to put the collection files into a .car file for xfer, but that was breaking somewhere along the line (I think during the creation of the .car files; most likely running out of room.. several of the collections are huge.)  Not sure if a simple direct xfer has been attempted; I'll check with our SA, next I see him.

V/r,
