Transfer data to AVIX version 5.1.6


AVIX 5.1.6 includes an overhaul of how more centralized data such as the configuration (admin template) and the access control are handled. 

In previous versions, including 5.1.5, possible setups were:

Storage type Configuration Access control
AVIX file (.avx5)

As per user preference : 

  •  .avx5t file(s) and/ or
  • DB storage (enterprise)

Storage-centric: 

  • Local (inside .avx5 file) or
  • DB storage 
AVIX DB storage Same as above Same as above, but most likely another "DB storage"




Regardless if we are setting out to work with a pure file-based AVIX 5.1.6, or full-fledged server setup, there is a need to "export" or extract these various data sets from an AVIX 5.1.5 (or earlier) storage: 

  • the normal AVIX data
  • the access control data (be it "local" or existing in a separate DB storage)
  • the configuration data

Above exports will store the data in a JSON file format (along with possible binary data in a separate folder). Having done the 5.1.5 export(s), an import can be done using AVIX 5.1.6.

The following sections will describe the 5.1.5 exports and the 5.1.6 imports in turn, using some examples.

Export from 5.1.5


Exporting using a file storage

  • Export Access control data
  • Export normal data
  • Export configuration data


    Exporting using a db storage

    Requires having a 5.1.5 server, and running an AVIX 5.1.5 application to connect and open one of the DB storages.

    • Export Access control data
    • Export normal data
    • Export configuration data

        Restore backups to avix files (using Avix 5.1.6)

        This will output .avx5t or .avx5 files.
