Migrating TerraGate/SFS to SkylineGlobe Server

Migration from TerraGate and SFS to SkylineGlobe Server is performed by importing configuration files from TerraGate and SFS to SkylineGlobe Server Manager. All data sources defined in these files are automatically scanned, and their layers added to SkylineGlobe Server.

In addition to migration, there are also techniques to enable SGS to handle requests that were previously handled by TerraGate and SFS. This rerouting of requests entails the following additional steps:

§  Binding of the IIS site where SkylineGlobe is installed to the same IP’s and ports that TerraGate was previously bound to and unbinding of TerraGate from them.

§  Configuration of the URL Rewrite to reroute requests.

To migrate from TerraGate/SFS to SGS:

1.      Export configuration files from the TerraGate and SFS Managers. In SFS, this is performed from the Settings page and in TerraGate, from the File menu>Export Settings. See TerraGate User Manual for more information.

2.      From the SkylineGlobe Server menu, select Settings. The Settings page is displayed.

3.      In the Import from TG/SFS section, click Import. The Import to SkylineGlobe dialog box is displayed.

4.      Select the Import Source.

5.      Browse to the Input File.

6.      Type the security token.

Note:       This field is only available when importing from SFS.

7.      Click Import.

Note:    When importing from TerraGate, an alias is added to each layer with the file name to allow backwards compatibility with the TerraGate naming convention. No TerraGate settings (including TerraGate aliases) are imported.

Note:    When importing from SFS, all layers from the imported data sources are added to SGS with the same configuration.
