Migrating data from a previous version of Rational ProjectConsole

Rational ProjectConsole Maintenance Tool Help  

If you have a Rational ProjectConsole site that was created using an earlier version of Rational ProjectConsole, you must migrate the data from that site to a new repository before you can connect to it with the currently installed version of Rational ProjectConsole.

Note: If you created data transformations using an earlier version of the Rational ProjectConsole Designer, you must upgrade these manually after you migrate your data. For information about how to manually migrate existing data transformations, see "Upgrading data transformations after migrating data" in the Rational ProjectConsole Designer Help.

To migrate data from a Rational ProjectConsole site that was created using an earlier version of Rational ProjectConsole:

  1. On the Rational ProjectConsole server, clickStart > Programs > Rational Software > Rational ProjectConsole > Rational ProjectConsole Maintenance Tool.
  2. Click Migrate data from a previous version of ProjectConsole, and then click Next.
  3. From the Database type list, select the database
  4. Specify required information about the databases you want to migrate.

    The database information you provide next depends on which of the following database type you selected in step 2:

  5. After you specify the required source database information, click Next.
  6. In the New repository name field, type a name for the new repository in which to store the migrated data.
  7. In the Old install location field, if the previous version of Rational ProjectConsole was installed somewhere other than the default directory, enter the correct path or browse to find the installation location.
  8. In the New install location field, if the currently installed version of Rational ProjectConsole is installed somewhere other than the default directory, enter the correct path or browse to find the installation location.
  9. Click Finish.

On the status page, an Operation Complete message should display. After that message is displayed, click Done or Exit. If this message does not display, check the status box for possible errors or exceptions. Then fix the error condition and complete these steps again to copy or create a repository.
