Your time is valuable and so we’ve prepared this guide to help you get organized well in working with us.This guide is intended to help customers to prepare the way for the smoothest transition to Iguana X that we can. To do this will mean sharing some of your channels with us. Of course be very careful not to send us any real Patient Health Information (PHI). If you have time to do these steps before we meet it will really help.IguanaX, guiding you through the first steps in migrating your existing Iguana v6 channels to IguanaX components. Our migration tools are evolving as we work with customers on their unique Iguana use cases.

Here are a few steps to set up your environment and get started with our migration tools before meeting with us to review your IguanaX environment:

You can go here:

title	Install Iguana X

IguanaX if you haven't already

Download Iguana from https://downloadsinstall.interfaceware.com/iguanax/And follow the instructions to install IguanaX:8080/ and review our Installation documentation.

title	Make sure you have access to a cloud accessible GIT repo account provider like bitbucket or githubExport your Iguana v6 channels to a Git repository with your Git service provider.

If you do not have one, then you can set up a free account on either platform. with Bitbucket or Github.

If you have a choice bitbitbucket is not a bad choice since we know it and can help you. Github also works well.not done this before, we’ve prepared this guide for how to do it: Exporting Iguana 6 code to a Repository. Let us know if you need additional help!

Some customers have tried to share git repos with gitlabs - but unfortunately it has not worked so far GitLabs - although you can import IguanaX components from any git repository - it just unfortunately has not be the smoothest platform to work with in our experience.

title	Export Add any environmental variables used by your channels to a Git repo in your cloud repo provider.

If you have not done this before, then we prepared this guide for how to do it. Let us know if you need additional help!

title	Give us access to this git repository in the cloud to IguanaX.

See Environment for where and how to add these in IguanaX.

title	Import and run the channel converter in IguanaX to convert your version 6 channels

Follow along the steps to import the tool into IguanaX and give it a try: Iguana 6 Channel Importer

It’s guaranteed to not 100% successfully convert your channels the first time you run it, but this is an important step for us to identify what the problems are and get moving on addressing them. Every time we go through this process with a customer we found we have been able to improve our process. We are trying to move quickly to identify and solve problems.

If you’re interested in having our team work directly with you on your migration path, contact support@interfaceware.com. You can provide us access to your Iguana 6 channels using one of the following methods:

Expand

title	1) Give us access to the cloud git repository with your channels

This step entails copying the SSH link (ex. git@bitbucket.org:johndoe/iguanaxrepo.git) and sending it to us. Please ensure that your repository is public so that we may pull the channels into IguanaX Iguana X for testing (this change is made on Bitbucket or Github).

Of course be super careful not to put any Patient Health Information (PHI) in this repo. But making your channels available means we can move a lot faster to help make sure your interfaces will port over to IguanaX easily.

We’re happy to use github or Bitbucket or any other git cloud provider that we can access.

If you need some help getting this configured let us know.

title	2) Export your Iguana 6 channels to a local repository and share it with us

If you haven’t exported channels to a local repository, we’ve outlined the steps: Exporting Iguana 6 Channels to a Local Repo.

It is important in order to be able to run channels that we have a

We’re happy to brainstorm with you on how to achieve this if you need advice on it - really we are happy with just one message - that is plenty.

so we can see how the channel is supposed to run. Just remember no real PHI please!
