[[Scalix Wiki]] -> [[How-Tos]] -> '''Migrate Scalix to a new server'''

For one reason or another I have had to re-install our scalix server a few times now and manually adding the user credentials, email addresses and the such has been quite boring. We are looking to move to a bigger server now and i have the task of doing it again.

70 users, some limited, over 100 email addresses - its going to take a while.

I have created a small script that echo's the user settings out.

Used in conjunction with the sxmboxexport script elsewhere on this wiki the migration will be much quicker.

    NEWMAILNODENAME=mail
    SXDIR=/opt/scalix/bin
    for i in $(${SXDIR}/omshowu -m all | cut -d "/" -f 1 | sed -e 's: $::g' -e 's/ /\//g'); do
        USER=`printf "$i" | sed -e 's:/: :g'`
        ADDRESSES=IA
        PARAMS=
        USERD=`${SXDIR}/omshowu -n "${USER}"`
        if [ `echo $USERD | grep "User Class : Limited" |wc -l` == 1 ];
        then
            PARAMS=$PARAMS" --class limited"
        fi
        for g in $(echo $USERD | grep -o "<[[:alnum:][:graph:]]*@[[:alnum:][:graph:]]*>"); do
           ADDRESSES=$ADDRESSES"="\"${USER}\"" "$g
        done
        echo ${SXDIR}/omaddu -n \'${USER}/${NEWMAILNODENAME}/${ADDRESSES}\' $PARAMS
    done

* Please note the NEWMAILNODENAME needs to be set to your new mailnode.

To use this script paste it into a file called  dumpscript.sh then execute the script:
     sh dumpscript.sh | import.sh

After copying the file to the new installation (scalix MUST be installed and working first) execute the import.sh script.

What the script exports:
* User name
* User level (i.e. full/limited)
* User email addresses

What the script doesn't set or export:
* Login name - [[http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual_Installation#Set_Generation_Rules_for_Display_Name.2C_Login_Name_and_Internet_Address]]
* Password - unextractable (AFAIK)
* Smartcache enabled/disabled
* User specific company details - position etc
* Add to global mailbox check - not part of omaddu (AFAIK)
* export user mailboxes (yet)
