Hi all,

I have imported two databases form J-ISIS to ABCD, after recreating FDT, FST and PFT.

Now I need to tranfer these two dbs from my PC to another PC where I would like to install ABCD.

Can I simply copy the db folders in the first PC to the right position in the folder structure in the second PC? (e.g. ABCD/www/bases/[dbname folder]).

Or I miss something in the process?

Thanks very much for the informations

Regards

Francesco (Roma, Italy)

Hello, Francesco!

Technically, you can simply copy the files, provided that:
– The operating system is the same;
– You follow the folder structure of the ABCD databases as set out in the documentation: https://abcd-devcom.github.io/docs/abcd-advanced/database-structure

Best regards!

Hello, Roger

thank you for the answer.

Actually I managed to transfer two dbs from the origin pc (Win 11) to destination pc (Win 10), but:

1) I had to copy  the db folder from ABCD/www/bases (in the origin PC) to ABCD/bases in the destination pc (intead of ABCD/www/bases)

2) I had to copy also the [dbname].par and the [dbname].def from the par folder of the origin PC to the par folder of the destination PC (always in ABCD/bases directory).

Perhaps I have messed up a little with the folder structure, as it seems not to be exactly the same in the two ABCD installations.

We will use the ABCD installation in the destination pc as a server for the other pcs in the office lan and it seems now to work.

Best regards

Francesco

Hi Francesco, that does work. Clone your W10 hard drive and/or backup the C:\ABCD directory structure.

So you can recover a working environment if the drive or W10 fail.
