GT 5.0.0 Migrating Guide for RLS


The following provides available information about migrating from previous versions of the Globus Toolkit.

1. Migrating RLS from GT4.2.x

Users of the GT4.2 RLS may reuse their existing databases with the GT5.0 RLS. No migration is required.

2. Migrating RLS from GT4.0

Users of the GT4.0 RLS may reuse their existing databases with the GT5.0 RLS. No migration is required.

3. Migrating RLS from GT3

Users of the GT3 RLS may reuse their existing databases with the GT4 RLS. No migration is required.

4. Migrating RLS from GT2

Users of GT2 RLS must create the RLI database, which was not required in some GT2 versions of RLS. To create the RLI database run the RLI database script for your particular DBMS. See database configuration instructions for more details. This is only required if the RLS is deployed as an RLI (e.g., rls_server true).
