Instance Migration & Legacy Access

New Instance Setup
  • Account Requirements
  • AWS is no longer supporting Amazon Linux, so we have moved to a new Ubuntu-based instance. Because data migration was not technically feasible, all users must:
    • Sign up for a new user account on this instance.
    • Reconfigure your profile settings, such as timezone and company.
  • All new deployment activity should take place in this new instance immediately.
Legacy Instance (90-Day Access)
  • Accessing Old Data
  • The legacy site at watchman-legacy.servicemax.com is still accessible until October 19, 2026 to view old accounts and complete outstanding activity.
  • Warning: The old instance data will be permanently deleted at the end of the 90-day transition period.
Data Backup & Migration Instructions
  • Manual Data Transfer
  • If you wish to retain or move data from the legacy site, please use the following methods:
  • 1. Download Deployment Backups:
    • Download metadata ZIP files of previous deployment attempts
    • Workbooks can be downloaded for each Snapshot and/or Manifest.
    • Download the Deployment Result Spreadsheet for any deployment run to keep as a permanent record.
  • 2. Recreate Manifests:
    • Recreate your environment in this new site.
    • Download the package.xml file from the legacy site for your manifest.
    • Upload that file into the new manifest on your recreated environment to effectively recreate the manifest.
  • If you have any questions, please reach out to the Watchman Admins.
