Replicating Database from IDE to Server |
Fri, Feb 1 2019 7:30 AM | Permanent Link |
Michael Saunders | For a while now whenever developing a new app and make changes to the IDE Internal Database defintions I have had to duplicate these manually on the external server if I wish to test this setup also
Is there an easier way to do this Note that while testing I have the external server on the same machine as the IDE. I develop using the IDE on a wired connection but test the external server with a wireless connection using a phone so I need to switch between the two regularly Thanks |

Bruno Larochelle | hi Michael..
If I understand your question.. find the 'ewbsrvr.ini' file on your dev machine (on my machine, On win10, I think this is in 'C:\ProgramData)\Elevate Software\Elevate Web Builder 2\ ...). Copy/paste the database definitions from that file to the matching one one your deployment server. (note that 'C:\ProgramData' is not always visible by default.. you may have to type it in for it to appear..) hope that helps a bit!

Bruno Larochelle | .. let me correct myself ..
you want to copy from the 'ewbide.ini' file (which is where you 'dev' DB definitions are stored) to the 'ewbsrvr.ini' file (the 'deploy' server) on my win10 machine.. the 'ewbide.ini' file is located in the 'C:\Users\Bruno\AppData\Local .... ' and the 'ewbsrvr.ini' is in : 'C:\ProgramData)\Elevate Software\Elevate Web Builder 2\ ...' hope i got it straight this time! .. Bruno // Bruno Larochelle wrote: hi Michael..

Bruno Larochelle | ... well .. i should add.. you want to copy only the DB definitions inside those files .. (so open them with a text editor and have a look)

Michael Saunders | you want to copy from the 'ewbide.ini' file (which is where you 'dev' DB definitions are stored) to the 'ewbsrvr.ini' file (the 'deploy' server)
Thanks that does help speed things up I should have guessed they would be in an INI file somewhere Mike |

Bruno Larochelle | it occurs to me that in your case, because your 'server' is on the same machine as the 'dev' .. you could use the handy 'import' button on the EWB Server interface.. (Database section..). One button solution in your case!

<< For a while now whenever developing a new app and make changes to the IDE Internal Database defintions I have had to duplicate these manually on the external server if I wish to test this setup also Is there an easier way to do this >> As Bruno indicated, there's an Import button in the external EWB Web Server for this purpose: https://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb2&topic=Configuring_Server under "Databases". As an aside, this gets much, much easier in EWB 3. In EWB 3, when you're working with databases, you do so in the new Server Manager in the IDE, and you can easily migrate server configurations from one server to another while staying in the IDE.
