![]() There are two basic approaches for full data migration from one environment to another. One involves the use of the command line utility "repotools" export/import capability that comes with CLM. The other is to use the database server's export/import capability. The latter, of course, requires the use of the same database server in the cloud environment as it is on-premises. The latter also migrates the full data set, including the data warehouse. The former enables the migration of data between dissimilar database servers. However, the data warehouse is not included and must be rebuilt. In either case, consideration must be given to whether the cloud environment will re-use the system URL as the on-premises environment. If not, a server rename must be performed on the data subsequent to migration. This requires submitting a IBM Support request and carries the risk of introducing performance degradation on the existing data.
Comments Hi Larry,
Your answer is indeed useful in many ways, the link you posted in your answer discuss about data migration and backup, I was wondering how can i migrate data to clm on cloud. Question here is when you run repotools commands to export and import data you have to go to actual directory where server is installed and run the commands, I can do this for my local server but how do I import data into cloud CLM server as I don't have access to directories of cloud where CLM server is installed. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

![]() Here is some information about our standard IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management on Cloud data import. This import includes Rational DOORS Next Generation, Rational Quality Manager and Rational Team Concert, to the equivalent on Cloud offering. Any database/store that is supported by repo tools, will be supported for the export/import from CLM. Customers are responsible for performing the repo tools export, supported by our CLM operations team, and ensuring bandwidth is available to transfer the files to the Softlayer data center "over the wire". Outages occur during the repo tools export and production import, and until we turn over the CLM on Cloud instance. We expect this to be over a weekend. The data warehouse will be rebuilt using the standard jobs. Customers are responsible for generating a file of users for import.
