Copying a load project to a new location
This section explains how to copy the files of a load project between two separate environments. Use this feature to move the project folder location, copy projects between machines, and move projects from development to production.
The project folders are named using sequential numbers like 1, 2, 3, and so on. You must identify your project by its content.
How to copy a load project
1 Stop the BIRT Analytics - FastDB service.
1 In Windows➛Start, type:
services.msc
Services appears, as shown in Figure 6‑9.

2 In Services, select BIRT Analytics - FastDB, and choose Stop the service.
2 Create a new empty load project using BIRT Analytics Loader. The configuration.xml, as shown in Listing 6‑2, defines the path where the load project is stored.
Listing 6‑2 Configuration.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</configuration>
3 Copy your old project files, except descriptor.txt file, to the new blank project location.
4 Start the BIRT Analytics - FastDB service.
5 Open the load project from BIRT Analytics Loader and verify that it works properly.
