The migration of the Content Center components is done in two steps. The first step is to migrate the Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS). The second step is to update the Content Center data to the new version of Inventor and refresh the legacy assemblies.
Step 1: Use ADMS Console to create a backup
Back up all libraries before you upgrade the server. Run ADMS Console, and select Tools 
Backup from the Server Console menu. The Backup command creates a backup of all libraries and vaults.
If a library is corrupted, use the backup file to restore the data and configuration as they existed at the backup time. In Server Console, click Tools Restore from the menu.
Step 2: Uninstall the server, and then install the new version of the server and Inventor
After the installation of the new server finishes, it reminds you to migrate your libraries. Select Start the server console now and click OK to start the server console and migrate the existing database. An automated process migrates your vaults and libraries. You can select libraries to be available in the new Inventor version. If the process finished successfully, your libraries are migrated and configured similarly as in the previous version of the server.
Step 3: Configure Content Center libraries in the Inventor project
Content Center libraries must be configured in the Inventor project to be available in Content Center.
Tips:
- If you use an existing project as a template for a new project, the Content Center configuration is inherited.
- If you are a stand-alone user, define the appropriate library configuration for particular projects to keep the best Content Center performance. Remove all unused libraries from each project.
- If you are an administrator of a workgroup, create a project file with the appropriate library configuration, copy the project to a shared location, and ask designers to include the project into their local projects. Then designers can add new libraries to their local projects but cannot remove libraries configured in the shared project. (Note: Vault does not support included projects.)
- If a project is controlled by Vault or other data management system, it must be checked-out to modify the library configuration.
Step 4: Migrate and update legacy user libraries by using the Update Tool
A legacy user library cannot be used in Content Center until it is migrated by Update Tool. Update Tool can also update families whose parent families were changed. During the update, edits available in the source parent family are propagated to the child family in the user library. The changes in the family properties or parameters are preserved, but the data that you did not edit are changed to correspond to the source family. If you changed the family template file, your template file is overwritten after the family update. Let the Update Tool create a backup of your template files and apply your templates to updated families.
Step 5: Refresh Content Center parts in legacy assemblies
We recommend that you refresh legacy assemblies after you migrate them into the new Inventor version. If an assembly is not refreshed, it may contain out-of-date standard parts. When you perform a Content Center operation related to an out-of-date standard part, the corresponding part file can be silently refreshed. All occurrences of the out-of-date part (in other assemblies) are then replaced by a new version of the part. Examples of operations that can cause a silent refresh are Change Size, Place from Content Center, and Open from Content Center.
