Please link me to it or share a definitive set of steps/ guide and what/ how to be backed up/ restored for migration.


Solution

  • If I properly understand, you need to migrate a Plastic SCM server to a new machine. For that purpose:

    • Install the last Plastic SCM version in your new machine.

    • Migrate the databases: The goal is to move the databases to the new server location. You can directly copy the database files to the new location or even run a replica operation between the two servers.

    • Copy the next configuration files in order to keep your server configuration parameters:

    • db.conf -> Is the one handling the database connection.

    • users.conf and groups.conf -> If you are using the User&Password authentication mode.
    • plasticd.lic -> The license file.
    • server.conf -> Your old server configuration parameters.

    PD: Remember also to reconfigure your clients to point to the new server location. You will probably have workspaces with selector pointing to the old server.
