Installing on Windows v55

Suggest edits

EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Windows. You can access it two ways:

Prerequisites

You must have a Java JVM (version 1.8.0 or later) in place before Stack Builder can perform a Migration Toolkit installation. Adoptium offers prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from fully open sources.

The Java executable must be in your search path (%PATH% on Windows). On Windows, use the following command to set the search path, substituting the name of the directory that holds the Java executable for javadir:

SET PATH=javadir;%PATH%

Note

The installation process creates a configuration file at this location: C:\Program Files\edb\mtk\etc\sysconfig\edbmtk-<version>.config. This configuration file specifies the location of the Java executable. If you have multiple versions of Java installed on your system, you can modify the contents of edbmtk-<version>.config to ensure that Migration Toolkit is using the correct version.

Installing directly

After downloading the graphical installer, to start the installation wizard, assume sufficient privileges (superuser or administrator) and double-click the installer icon. If prompted, provide a password.

In some versions of Windows, to invoke the installer with Administrator privileges, you need to right-click on the installer icon and select Run as Administrator from the context menu.

Proceed to the Using the graphical installer section in this topic.

Using Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus

If you are using PostgreSQL, you can invoke the graphical installer with Stack Builder. See Using Stack Builder.

  1. In Stack Builder, follow the prompts until you get to the module selection page.

    On the Welcome page, use the drop-down listbox to select the target server installation from the list of available servers. If your network requires you to use a proxy server to access the internet, select Proxy servers and specify a server; if you do not need to use a proxy server, click Next to proceed.

  2. Expand the Registration-required and trial products node.

  3. Expand the EnterpriseDB Tools node and select Migration Toolkit.

  4. Proceed to Using the graphical installer.

If you are using EDB Postgres Advanced Server, you can invoke the graphical installer with StackBuilder Plus. See Using StackBuilder Plus.

  1. In StackBuilder Plus, follow the prompts until you get to the module selection page.

    On the Welcome page, use the drop-down listbox to select the target server installation from the list of available servers. If your network requires you to use a proxy server to access the internet, select Proxy servers and specify a server; if you do not need to use a proxy server, click Next to proceed.

  2. Expand the Add-ons, tools, and utilities node and select Enterprise DB Migration Toolkit.

  3. Proceed to Using the graphical installer.

Using the graphical installer

  1. Select the installation language and select OK.

  2. On the Setup Migration Toolkit page, select Next.

  3. Read the license agreement. If you accept the agreement, select the I accept the agreement option and select Next.

  4. Browse to a directory where you want Migration Toolkit to be installed, or allow the installer to install Migration Toolkit in the default location. Select Next.

  5. On the Ready to Install page, select Next.

    An information box shows the installation progress of the selected components. This may take a few minutes.

  6. When the installation has completed, select Finish.

    After installing Migration Toolkit, you must install the appropriate JDBC drivers before performing a migration. See Installing a JDBC driver for more information.
