Unattended conversion using command-line parameters

Before using the Conversion Tool, it is important to make the following preparations:

Upgrade your Ivanti Automation environment to version 10.2 or higher.
Make a back-up of your Datastore before running the Conversion Tool.
Take all Dispatchers offline.
Close all Consoles and Management Portal windows. Consoles and the Management Portal must not be (re)opened during conversion of the Datastore.

Please note, that once the conversion of either the Database Main Tables or the Database History Tables has started, the process must not be interrupted until it has completed.

After the preparations have been completed, you can start the Conversion Tool from the command line. The following command-line parameters are available:

Parameter	Value	Comments
DBSERVER	<SERVERNAME>	Specifies the database server the Conversion Tool should connect to. Example: DBSERVER=MSSQLServer01
DBNAME	<DATABASENAME>	Specifies the name of the database the Conversion Tool should connect to. Example: DBNAME=AutomationDB
DBTYPE	MSSQL, DB2, or MSSQLAZURE	Specifies the database type. Example: DBTYPE=MSSQL
DBUSER	<DBUSERNAME>	Specifies the database user name the Conversion Tool should use to connect to the database. Example: DBUSER=AutomationDBUser
DBPASSWORD	<DBPASSWORD>	Specifies the plaintext password the Conversion Tool should use to connect to the database. Example: DBPASSWORD=AutomationDBUserPassword
VERIFYONLY		Specifies that the Conversion Tool should only verify the Datastore, and not convert it. (optional)
