Backing up and restoring the Derby database

By default, IBM® Rational® Quality Manager is configured to run with a Derby database. This topic provides instructions for backing up and restoring the database.

About this task

To back up the Derby database:

Procedure

  1. Stop the Jazz™ Server.
  2. Navigate to the repositoryDB directory and copy it to a secure location.

    The default location of this directory is RQM_install_dir\server\repositoryDB, where RQM_install_dir is the installation directory.

    Note: If you move the database to a new location, you must specify the new location in the com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location property in the teamserver.properties file, which is installed by default in RQM_install_dir\RQM\server\conf\jazz\teamserver.properties.
  3. Restart the Jazz Server.
  4. To restore the current database with the version that you backed up:
    1. Stop the Jazz server.
    2. Replace the current repositoryDB directory with the version that you backed up.
    3. Restart the Jazz server.
