Use these windows to move a user database to a new location or
to a different vendor database. When you move a user database, Rational® ClearQuest® copies
the user database to a new location, locks the old user database, and marks
the copy in the new location as the active user database.
Preparing to move a user database
To prepare to move a user database:
- Create a new database container in the new location using your vendor
tool.
- Notify all users to log off from Rational ClearQuest.
Note: Some databases provide a tool for logging users
off the database. Check to see if your database vendor has such a tool.
- Back up all of your databases. You must back up all of your Rational ClearQuest databases
to prevent data loss due to unforeseen circumstances, such as network failure,
that might occur during the move.
The following controls appear:
- Vendor
- Provides a list of the supported vendor databases. Select a new vendor
if you are moving to a new database and provide values for the database properties.
Note: To
review the values supported for each of the vendor databases, see the related
link.
