To prepare for migrating a server configuration
- Shut down the server configuration.
- Create a database backup.
- Verify the location of the files that you need to move. These file are:
- The database backup.
-
starteam-server-configs.xml.
- The repository including its Native-II archives if they are not located under the repository folder.
To migrate a server configuration
- Copy the files from the source to the target location.
- Open
starteam-server-configs-xml
in a text editor.
- Copy the entire entry for the source server configuration into the target
starteam-server-configs-xml
file.
Note: If
starteam-server-configs-xml
does not exist on the target machine, then you can copy the entire file and delete any entries from it for any server configurations
that do not exist on the target machine. However, if this file does exist on the target machine, then take care to copy only
the section needed for the server configuration that you are moving to the target machine.
- Open the
starteam-server-configs-xml
file.
- Type the correct values in the
RepositoryPath and
LogPath options for your migrated server configuration so that it points to the new migrated locations for the specified server configuration.
For example, you would update the following values for these options:
-
<option name="RepositoryPath" value="C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam Server <version>\QA Team Repository\" />
-
<option name="LogPath" value="C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam Server <version>\QA Team Repository\" />
To complete a server configuration migration
- Restore the database from backup.
- Configure the database for the migrated server configuration.
- Start the migrated server configuration. Depending on whether you have other server configurations running on the same machine,
you may need to start the migrated server configuration on a different port. If you need to do this, do one of the following:
- Click the
Start with Override toolbar button; or
- Choose
from the main menu.
