Hi Patrick,
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.
To migrate the resources, you need to back up all the Report Server elements located in the following location of the UAT machine.
%programdata%\Syncfusion\Report Server
For Example : C:\ProgramData\Syncfusion\Report Server
All the Resources and Logs will be in that “Report Server” folder.
Case 1: If both the UAT and Production server point outs the same database means, please follow the bellow steps in Production server,
1. Go the folder %programdata% (For example: C:\ProgramData)
2. Create a folder “Syncfusion”.
3. Paste the backup folder “Report Server” in the newly created folder.
4. Install the same version of Syncfusion Report Server.
If you follow the above steps, all data will be migrated to the production server as well. The users will not be affected. They do not need to change their passwords, etc. The Production Server ideally has the same categories, reports, datasets, and data sources.
The above steps will back up and restore Resources and Logs folder.
Case 2: If you want to keep separate database for both UAT and Production server, follow the steps mentioned in the Case 1. Additionally you need to change the database mapping based on the Database type you have chosen.
For SQLCE: No changes required for the database mapping.
For SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle follow the below procedure in the production server:
The database configuration file will be in the below folder:
%programdata%\Syncfusion\Report Server\Configuration
Do the following changes in the production server:
1. Backup the schema and data. Restore it in a different DB server. This will copy all the user data to a separate DB server.
2. Form the Connection string for the production DB server as follows:
|
SQL Server |
SQL Server Authentication:
Data Source=”databaseCredentials.ServerName”;user id=”databaseCredentials.UserName”;password=”databaseCredentials.Password”;Initial Catalog=”databaseCredentials.DatabaseName”;
Windows Authentication:
"Server=”databaseCredentials.ServerName”; Integrated Security=yes;" Initial Catalog=”databaseCredentials.DatabaseName”; |
|
MySQL |
DSN="DSN name;"Uid="User Name";password="Password"; |
|
Oracle |
master:DSN=DSN name;UID="Admin User Name";PWD="Admin Password";current:DSN=databaseCredentials.DSN;UID="Client User Name";PWD="Client Password"; |
3. Now encrypt the connection string of the production server using the utility:
· Run the Connection String Encryption.exe.
· Enter the above connection string and press Enter.
· You will get the encrypted connection string.
4. Replace the encrypted connection string in the Config.xml file of the production server.
(%programdata%\Syncfusion\Report Server\Configuration\Config.xml)
Thanks,
Rajesh. R
