Best method to move large amount of data

[ptc-1609185]

What is the best method to move data from one windchill instance to another keeping the data integrity at the same time. Our current windchill 8 installation holds data for two lines of business(LOB). LOB A's data will remain on the current windchill server while LOB B's data will need to be export/transferred to an new windchill instance that will be created. The library files will also have to be exported to the new instance as well. LOB B data is housed in 4 of the 9 products. The new instance will also be windchill 8. The main product has over 15K items in it.

Thanks

Dave

Hello

If your LOB's Datas have no cross references or use cases (except libraries that you keep in both systems), and if your 2 Windchill instances should have the same configuration (accesrules, workflows , lifecycle etc ...).

What about doing a simple rehost of your source system, and then delete LOB A datas in instance 1, and delete LOB B datas in instance 2 ?

Had not thought about that option. Thanks I will go down that path
