You must complete some preliminary tasks before you move
a schema repository to a new location or to a different database management
system.
Procedure
- Create an empty database in the new location. You can create Microsoft Access databases
with the Maintenance Tool. To create other supported databases, you
must use the database vendor tools.
- Instruct all users to log off the databases. New users
cannot access the databases while you are moving the schema repository,
but users who are currently logged in when the process begins cannot
be detected or logged off. Some supported databases provide a tool
for logging users off the database. Determine whether your database
vendor has such a tool.
- Back up all Rational® ClearQuest® databases,
even if you are moving only one schema repository or one user database.
Backups prevent data loss due to unforeseen circumstances that might
occur during the move.
