Using the Apex One Settings Export Tool

Note:

This version of Apex One supports the following migrations:

  • On-premises Apex One servers: From OfficeScan version 11.0 and later

  • Apex One as a Service servers: From OfficeScan version XG Service Pack 1

For a complete list of the settings that the Apex One Settings Export Tool migrates, see The Apex One Settings Export Tool.

Older OfficeScan versions may not contain all the settings available in the latest Apex One version. Apex One automatically applies the default settings for any feature not migrated from the previous OfficeScan server version.

  1. Locate the Server Migration Tool package.

    • From the Apex One web console, go to Administration > Settings > Server Migration and click the Download Apex One Settings Export Tool link.

    • On the Apex One 2019 server computer, navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\PolicyExportTool.

  2. Copy the Apex One Settings Export Tool to the source OfficeScan server computer.
    Important:

    You must use the Apex One 2019 Apex One Settings Export Tool on the source OfficeScan server version to ensure that all data is properly formatted for the new target server. Apex One 2019 is not compatible with older versions of the Server Migration Tool.

  3. Double-click ApexOneSettingsExportTool.exe to start the Apex One Settings Export Tool.

    The Apex One Settings Export Tool runs.
