database configuration.

Hello,

I have a question. We have installed 1.0.1 for testing and have
created a test plan, cases, and scripts. We need to evaluate this
tool using SQL server 2005 SP2.

Will the test plans, etc on the Derby env move over? Or do we start
over from the beginning?

thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can certainly move the data. You will have to migrate the data
over to SQL server using repotools. Here are the general steps you'll
need to take:

1. Shut down your server.
2. Export your existing data by running 'repotools -export
toFile=filename.tar'
3. Update your server config to run SQL server. Do NOT run repotools
-createTables as you normally would for a new database.
4. Import the data you exported in step 2 using the command 'repotools
-import fromFile=filename.tar'
5. Start your server.

This will export your data from derby and import it into SQL server once
you've reconfigured your server to use SQL server.

Hope this helps,

Mike
