Database Utility
For v3.0 we provide a separate application for working with databases.
Overview
The basic use is as follows:
-
Connect to a v3.0 database ("The target database").
-
Select an action. Some of these actions are separate steps in a database conversion process. Others could be run at any time.
-
Depending on the action selected, you may also need to select a "source database" to copy data from. This could be a v3.0 or v2.1 database. The Database Utility will handle the conversion between different data model versions.
How to launch
The utility is the java application sbconvert-3.0.x.jar which is found in the client software installation folder.
- Control Panel
-
Open the StrataBugs control panel by double-clicking the icon or StrataBugs.exe file. You will need a valid licence file or access to a licence server to be able to open this. If you have no database connections set up then you will be given the option to launch the database utility, otherwise the utility can be launched from the control panel menu.
- Installation icon
-
If you installed the client applications using the .msi (or macos) installer with database utility option, then you will have a separate icon to launch the utility.
- JAR file
-
If you installed the client software bundle, open a command prompt, CD to the StrataBugs 3.0 folder, and run the .jar file from the command line with this:
.\jre\bin\java.exe -jar sbconvert-3.0.x.jar -allowUnrestrictedQueries
Where 3.0.x is replaced with the specific version number downloaded.
