Migrating from On-premises to Cloud
Note: This tool is designed only for data migration.
To migrate the dashboard from on-premises to cloud, you have to use Dashboard Import/Export option which is available in the
following versions:
- 2023.4 - Base Insights data model (You can't migrate custom variables or ROI dashboards.)
- 2023.10 - You can migrate the Base Insights data model and custom variable/ROI dashboards.
The on-premises to cloud migration tool isn't intended for self-service. UiPath Support and Insights Engineering will manage the execution of this tool on your behalf. Before that, you need to complete the following pre-migration steps and provide the necessary information outlined in step seven to ease the tool's execution.
- Upgrade your on-premises environment to 2023.4. (
You can skip this step if you are already in version 2023.4 or later).
- Option 1: Full upgrade. Use the: Insights - Upgrading documentation to find more.
- Option 2: Clone and upgrade Insights DB. Find out more in: Upgrade using cloned database.
Note: Insights service downtime is expected until the migration is completed by UiPath Support team. Based on the ticket volume, the migration can take approx two weeks to complete from end to end.
- Execute the SQL script to verify Insights DB and share the results with the Support team. You should fix any issues detected by this script before moving to the next step.
- Create an AzureSql with collate Latin_1_General_CI_AS. This can be done using the following command:
create database <your DB name> collate Latin1_General_CI_AS; - In your cloud environment, create a new tenant (it'll be referred to as the cloud tenant from this point onward). Take note of the tenant key as it will be needed later on.
- Run the UiPath’s Orchestrator Migration Tool to migrate Orchestrator data from on-premises tenant to the cloud tenant. After this step is complete, navigate to the Orchestrator
page and verify that all folders, including classic folders, machines, and queue are migrated to cloud.
Note: If some entities (Processes, Queues, etc.) are missing on cloud, you should manually create them with your on-premises names. If you don’t create missing entities, it will be assumed they have been deleted and proceed accordingly.
- Migrate data from the on-premises tenant to the new AzureSql DB using Microsoft’s Data Migration Assistant (DMA). You can
install Microsoft DMA on the on-premises machine. You are required to migrate the following seven tables.:
- dbo.JobEvents
- dbo.Jobs
- dbo.QueueItemEvents
- dbo.QueueItems
- dbo.RobotLogs
- dbo.Tenants
- dbo.Tenants
- dbo.__MigrationHistory
Note: Microsoft’s DMA isn't the only tool that can transfer data to AzureSql. There are alternatives and it's ok to use any tool that you have access to. - Execute this SQL script to verify Insights DB and share the results with the Insights team: Insights DB verification script. You should fix any issues detected by this script before moving to the next step.
- Send a migration request via the customer portal with the following information:
- The AzureSQL connection string.
- The TenantKey of the on-premises tenant.
- The TenantKey of the cloud tenant.
- The Tenant Name of the cloud tenant
- The Organization Name of the cloud environment.
- The region of the cloud tenant.
