1. Connect to mongo shell and run the following command.

   mongodump -ustratus -pP@ssw0rd --authenticationDatabase admin stratus --out “C:\temp –forceTableScan 

2. Connect to mariadb and backup mysql db:

   Mysqldump --routines -ustratus --pP@ssw0rd stratus > c:\temp\wms.db.sql 

3. Export software vault keys from an old server:
   • Download the software vault utility from Dell Support.
4. Run the following command from the softwarevault key directory:

   softwareVaultUtility-1.x.x.exe -mode export -password Dell#1234 

5. Copy mariadb/ mongodb/ software vault backup files to the new server.

Restoring in new server:

1. Connect to mariadb:

   mysql -hlocalhost -ustratus -pP@ssw0rd 
   
   SHOW DATABASES; 

   
   
2. Drop the existing database in the new WMS server:

   DROP DATABASE stratus;  

   
   
3. Create a Database in Mysql:

   CREATE DATABASE stratus DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_unicode_cil

   
   
4. Import the db from the copied location:

   mysql -hlocalhost -ustratus -pP@ssw0rd stratus <  PATH-OF-THE-FILE 

5. Import the software vault key to the new server:

   softwareVaultUtility-1.x.x.exe -mode import -password Dell#1234
