OAuth Token Migration FAQs

Q: How do you find the username and password for MySQL?

A: In your TIBCO Cloud™ API Management - Local Edition installation, you can find the password for the user mashclient from /etc/mashery-system.conf: 
"client":
{"password":"XXXXXXXXXXXX","user":"mashclient"},

A: Yes. Each time it runs, it will pick all tokens created or updated after the last run of the utility. The utility maintains a journal entry of last-processed tokens.

Q: When do I need to use FILE as an intermediary to migrate tokens between API Management - Local Edition 4.1 and Local Edition 5.1?

Environments may exist where it is not possible to talk to the MySQL database from the Local Edition 5.1 Cluster Manager container. Therefore, it is advised to do the migration in 2 steps:
  1. Migrate Local Edition 4.X MySQL to FILE.
  2. Migrate FILE to Local Edition 5.1 Cassandra.

Q: How do you migrate tokens with the least downtime?

A: To achieve near-zero downtime:
  1. Run the utility once to migrate all known tokens.
  2. Run the utility again, right before the switching the traffic from Local Edition 4.x to Local Edition 5x to migrate tokens generated after the run in Step 1.
  3. Run the utility right after the switch to migrate tokens generated after run in step 2.
