Switching to new server - db migration?
Hi,
We are looking to move our TC3.1.2 to a new box and then upgrade it to TC5.
In terms of moving to the new box, I have tried copying the existing installation across, but that is not working.
I see there is a DB export/import tool - so it seems thats the way to go , export on the old server, import on the new one.
Is that the reccomended route?
I see this item on moving servers - but perhaps its not relevant to TC3...

To migrate to a new server you basicaly need to:
- install the same version of TeamCity on the new server
- copy .BuildServer from the old server to the new one
- search thrrough .BuildServer/config and change old absolute paths to new paths if necessary
- if you are using external database, but do not plan to move database, backup db data
- start new server
Hi Pavel,
Thanks for the quick answer, will try that out (after breakfast )
After installing the new v3.1.2 on new box, should I enter the licence info to make it enterprise before moving the BuildServer config, or is that covered in the config?
I think we have 4 or 5 build agents - just over the 3 free of the professional and definitely less than 20 build configs.
Thanks,
Chris
License key is stored in the .BuildServer/system/license.keys file. If you copy this file the new server will take it.
Thanks - running TC5 now, seems a little snappier
Although was hoping for some UI tweaks, perhaps small colour scheme change or something - can hardly tell its a different version
Thanks,
Chris
