moving a repository

[jim]

Hi All,

I have a dual boot machine with a c and e drive. For some reason when I
installed the embedded tool kit, it put the Windows Embedded Data and the
Windows Embedded Images on the E drive. How can i move the Windows Embedded
Data folder over to the C drive?

Thanks

Jim

Hi, Jim!

Data folder over to the C drive?

The easiest way is to unsintall XPe and reinstall it to the proper place.

I did once a repository movement - it took 1..2 hours and some SQL
statements to change the database. I can't recommend my way to anybody.
Just reinstall it.

Jim,

The tools install on the partition with the most free space, so that is why
they probably installed on your E:

If you don't want to re-install everything again, and you have SQL Server
Enterprise Manager, you can try the following to move your database
(although this is not technically supported, so it depends on how
comfortable you are playing with SQL):
- In Enterprise Manager, "Detach" the MantisSQL DB.
- After it's detached, copy your Embedded Data folder to your C:
- In Enterprise Manager, re-attach your MantisSQL DB by browsing to
C:\Windows Embedded Data.
- You may have to the share out your repositories folder again after. After
you have done so update the repository root in Database Manager to point to
the new repository location (C

You can then delete the original Embedded Data folder on E:

Hope this helps,

AFAIK you need also change something in one table... At least I can't
just backup/restore database to another location.
