xDB for OpenText Content Server is a database migration solution that will migrate database content between Oracle, SQL Server, Azure SQL, SAP HANA and PostgreSQL with no downtime to your Content Server instances.​

Relational database engines are very similar to each other. However they are not identical in their supported data types, metadata organization or internal data manipulation capabilities. Manual data transfer processes are time-consuming and difficult. They are also very error prone, and often result in bad data at the destination after a migration.

Syntergy’s xDB solution supports cross database migration and synchronization to convert and replicate your database rapidly while preserving your data integrity, database structures and relations between tables. The migration tool is specifically designed for OpenText Content Server tables and comes pre-configured with all the Content Server Data Types, as well as specific adjustments for various migration issues that would be complicated or impossible to do with other general-purpose migration tools. Other migration tools can only do parts of a migration because they lack the experience and expertise required for a Content Server related migration.
