Windows Import Procedure

The Windows import procedure includes the following steps:

• Step 1: Export from Old Server
• Step 2: Copy Required Files (New Machine Only)
• Step 3: Ensure 2.x Service is Installed
• Step 4: Import the Database
• Step 5: Start the Service
• Step 6: Verify Migration
• Step 7: Verify H2 Database Version

Important:Run all commands in a Command Prompt as an Administrator.

Step 1: Export from Old Server

To export from the old server:

Complete the steps in Windows Export Procedure.

Step 2: Copy Required Files (New Machine Only)

To copy required files:

1. Copy both of these files from the old machine to the new machine:

flexnetls-h2-1-4-x-migration-source.data (migration file)
flexnetls_licenses.ks (keystore file)

2. Place these files into the following directory on the new machine:

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\flexnetls\<publisher>\

This ensures correct decryption and database initialization.

Step 3: Ensure 2.x Service is Installed

To ensure the 2.x service is installed:

1. Run the following command:

flexnetls.bat -install

Step 4: Import the Database

To import the database:

1. Run the following command:

flexnetls.bat -import-database

2. This command imports data into a new H2 2.x database. It automatically detects the correct data directory.

Step 5: Start the Service

To start the service:

1. Run the following command:

flexnetls.bat -start

Step 6: Verify Migration

To verify migration:

1. Check the log by entering the following command:

type "<trusted-storage-dir>\logs\h2-2x-migration-import.log"

2. Perform an optional API check:

curl http://localhost:7070/api/1.0/instances

3. These steps confirm that the migration completed successfully and that the service is operating correctly.

Step 7: Verify H2 Database Version

Note:Ensure that the server is installed successfully and is running and accessible.

Starting with the 2026.07 release, the current H2 database version can be verified using the following methods.

Method 1: H2 Version Endpoint

• Endpoint: /api/1.0/h2version
• Example: http://localhost:7070/api/1.0/h2version

Method 2: Health Endpoint

The H2 database version is also exposed through the /api/1.0/health endpoint.

The version information is available under the database section of the health response.
