Moving database from live to test

Database transfer

Choose ONE of the options below that best suits your requirements.

Database transfer: Different MySQL server / Same schema name

Export data from LIVE server

 mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD --databases tsbase tslive tstest > dump.sql

Import data to TEST server

 mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD --force < dump.sql

Database transfer: Same MySQL server / Different schema name

Export data from LIVE server

 mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD tsbase > dumpBase.sql
 mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD tslive > dumpLive.sql
 mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD tstest > dumpTest.sql

Import data to TEST server (assuming name is 'sandbox')

 mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD sandboxbase < dumpBase.sql
 mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD sandboxlive < dumpLive.sql
 mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD sandboxtest < dumpTest.sql

Configuration changes

Run the following commands before you start the server

 USE tslive;
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue = 'false' WHERE PolicyName='serviceAutostart';
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue = 'true' WHERE PolicyName='smtpTestMode';
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue = 'localhost' WHERE PolicyName='smtpServer';
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue = 'localhost' WHERE PolicyName='applicationServer';
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue = 'http://localhost' WHERE PolicyName='applicationURL';
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue =  WHERE PolicyName LIKE 'folder%';
 UPDATE systempolicy SET PolicyValue = 'C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps' WHERE PolicyName='applicationBasePath';

Rebuild views

Ensure that views exist by rebuilding them

 Designer > Modules > Admin services > RebuildViews

Troubleshooting

Server not started

• Check application server log files for information
• Tomcat
  • Check xml descriptor is found in [TOMCAT]/conf/Catalina/localhost
  • Check war file is unpacked correctly in [TOMCAT]/webapps

Cannot select fieldtype when adding or editing fields

1. Run the following SQL command

 USE tsbase;
 DROP VIEW IF EXISTS viewdatatypeselector;
 CREATE VIEW viewdatatypeselector AS
   SELECT
     systemdatatype.FeltTypeID AS `FeltTypeID`,
     concat(systemdatatypepackage.TypePrefix,': ',systemdatatype.FeltType) AS `FeltType` 
   FROM systemdatatype 
   JOIN systemdatatypepackage 
     ON systemdatatype.PackageID = systemdatatypepackage.PackageID 
   WHERE systemdatatype.IsSelectable = 1)
   ORDER BY systemdatatypepackage.SortOrder, systemdatatype.FeltType;

1. Repeat the "Rebuild views above"
