Hello all,

I have RQM setup on Machine1 and it's database (MS SQL Server) on Machine2. I just got a new server in (Machine3). Can I install RQM on Machine3 and point it to the MS SQL Server DB without recreating the DBs?

Sorry, I am on 2.0. I have been asking for a new server for months, and finally just installed RQM and setup SQL Server from our DBA team. I was about to announce availability today and they told me I have a new machine.

With ClearQuest Web, we can install multiple web servers to point to the same database, I am wondering if I can do the same thing.

thanks for any advice/instructions
