If the need arises to move your SystemWeaver data files, e.g., to a new server, it is important to take steps to ensure the data is not corrupted during the process. This article provides recommendations for how to move SystemWeaver data files safely.
- Ensure that the SystemWeaver server applications are stopped so that none of the data files being moved are actively being written to (alternatively, take backup copies and move those)
- Compress the files before moving them. This would apply to any of these files:
- sqlite
- File repository (both file-based or database-based, if file repository is in use)
- logs
- file-based type repository (if in use)
- cache (if mirror server is in use)
- swjournal (if mirror server is in use)
Example Files:
- Then, extract the files in their new location(s).
Server/Log Configuration Files
The server application/log configuration files are located with their respective server application executable. It is not necessary to zip the configuration file types if you are moving them:
- settings
- props
- ini
- nlog
However, you should review all configuration files to ensure all filepaths to data files in their new locations are correct.
