Before You Begin
Note You must install the latest patch for the supported migration versions listed here. Also, if you have any
other version of ACS 4.x installed, you must upgrade to one of the supported versions and install the
latest patch for that version before you can migrate to ACS 5.3.
Before You Begin
Before you migrate data from ACS 4.x to ACS 5.3, ensure that you:
Check for database corruption issues in the ACS 4.x source machine.

Have enabled the migration interface on the ACS 5.3 server.

machine.
