Question
How do you move or transfer an IBM Rational DOORS database from one drive or partition to another?
Answer
The following steps move or transfer a DOORS database:
- Ensure all the users have saved their data and are logged out of DOORS
- Shutdown 'DOORS DB server x.x' (x.x being the version of DOORS)
- Open Services (Local) (Click Start > Run > type services.msc)
- Right click the service with the name ‘DOORS DB Server x.x’ (x.x being the version of DOORS)
- Click Stop
- Copy the DOORS Data Folder
The location of the Data folder can be found from the registry key “ServerData” present in the path:
32bit OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\x.x\Config
64bit OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\x.x\Config
(x.x being the version of DOORS) As shown below:
- Paste the copied DOORS Data Folder at the desired location in the target drive.
- Replace the registry key “ServerData” present in:
32bit OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\x.x\Config
64bit OS:
\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\x.x\Config
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node
(x.x being the version of DOORS) with the new path to the copied Data folder in the new target drive.
For example: E:\data where 'data' is the copied DOORS Data folder.
- Start the 'DOORS DB server x.x' (x.x being the version of DOORS)
- Open Services (Local) (Click Start > Run > type services.msc)
- Right click the service with the name ‘DOORS DB Server x.x’ (x.x being the version of DOORS)
- Click Start
