Move Data Importer from one workstation to another

Before performing this migration, please stop all import profiles

The version of Open Bee™ Data Importer on the workstation to be migrated must be the latest

Database migration (optional)

Open Bee™ Data Importer uses an internal MySQL database.

The following is how to migrate this database from one workstation to another:

  1. Back up the database
    • “PATH_MYSQL\bin\mysqldump” -u root dataimporter > dataimporter_backup.sql
    • Example withMySQL Port = 3307, password = pass, MySQL folder path = C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenBee\Open Bee Data Importer\mysql\bin
      • “C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenBee\Open Bee Data Importe\rmysql\bin\mysqldump” -P 3307 -u root -ppass dataimporter > “C:\dataimporter_backup.sql”
  2. If necessary, install MySQL on the destination workstation
  3. If it does not exist, create a blank database “dataimporter”
    • “PATH_MYSQL\bin\mysqladmin” -u root -p[password] create “dataimporter”
    • Example “C:\Program Files (x86)\mysql\bin\mysqladmin” -u root -ppass create “dataimporter”
  4. Re-import the database
    • “PATH_MYSQL\bin\mysql” -u root -p[password] dataimporter > dataimporter_backup.sql
    • Example “C:\Program Files (x86)\mysql\bin\mysql” -u root -ppass dataimporter < C:\dataimporter_backup.sql
