Data transfer from Windchill DS11.1 to Windchill DS11.2

[SI_10934165]

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.0

I am planning to upgrade from Windchill 11 to 13.

When upgrading from Windchill 11 to 12, I am also planning to upgrade WindchillDS from 11.1 to 11.2.

So I would like to transfer the user and group information in Windchill DS11.1 to the newly installed Windchill DS11.2.

Is it enough to just import the DIF file exported from Windchill DS11.1 to Windchill DS11.2?

Do I need to delete or change anything to add features, etc.?

Also, please let me know if there is a procedure manual.

Here are the errors that I faced.

Translated the topic from Japanese to English using google translate

Subject - Windchill DS11.1からWindchill DS11.2へのデータ移設

Body - I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.0 
Windchill11から13へバージョンアップを予定しています。 
Windchill11から12にバージョンアップする際に、WindchillDSは11.1から11.2にしようとしています。 
そこで、Windchill DS11.1に入っているユーザ情報、グループ情報を新しくインストールしたWindchill DS11.2へ移したいです。 
Windchill DS11.1でエクスポートしたDIFファイルをWindchill DS11.2にインポートするだけでいいのでしょうか？ 
何か機能追加等で削除や変更をする必要はありますか？ 
また、手順書があれば教えてください。

If your upgrade target is Windchill 13.0 , I am not sure what are the special reasons you need to upgrade via the intermediate phase 11.2. 

1. For the supported upgrade path, you can check the document https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Windchill_PDMLink/compatibility/WindchillSupportedUpdateUpgradePaths.pdf?sc_lang=en&source=search

2. For Windchill Upgrade, you can refer to the article: 

https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS373682

https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS43641

3. Regarding the upgrade from Windchill 11.1 to 11.2, you can refer to the upgrade guide: https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Windchill_PDMLink/11,-d-,2/WCUpgradeGuide_11_2_1_0.pdf

4. Since the user and group information are still stored in LDAP in Windchill 11.2, you don't need to perform additional work when you export the LDIF from source system and import it to the target system (11.2).

5. Please note that there is no bundled LDAP server (WindchillDS) from Windchill 12.0.1, you may check the below article for the upgrade:
