Copying a data repository to a new location
BIRT Analytics supports changing the location of a data repository by copying the repository to a new location. The Dubnium server must be shut down before copying the repository. Before restarting the Dubnium server, you must change the FastDB engine configuration file to specify the new location.
How to copy a data repository to a new location
1 Stop Dubnium Server.
2 Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to:
C:\Program Files\BIRTAnalytics\data\FastDB\databases
3 Open the engine_configuration.ini file in Notepad.
4 Modify the following line:
repository = C:\Program Files\BIRTAnalytics\data\FastDB\databases
for example, to:
repository = C:\Production\SalesData
5 Set privileges for the user running the Dubnium server to this folder, in this case:
C:\Production\SalesData
To set privileges, follow the procedure in step 3 in How to create a new repository.
6 Save and close the file.
7 Copy all files and folders from the old repository, which by default is:
C:\Program Files\BIRTAnalytics\data\FastDB\databases
to the newly defined repository:
C:\Production\SalesData\
8 Start Dubnium Server.
9 Synchronize and assign permissions using BIRT Analytics Administration, as described in Working with projects.
10 Open BIRT Analytics and check that it works properly.
