Move a storage repository

Only users active in the Administrator’s group can move a storage repository.

To set up the move:

  1. Go to your new location for the repository and recreate the directory path that contains the storage files as follows:

  2. drive:\idmds\system\stacks\shelfxxx

  3. Move the storage repository files from the old location to the new location.


  4. Notes

    Make sure to delete the files from the old location. Failure to do so can cause unexpected results.

    We recommend you change Logons Enabled? To No to prevent the possible loss of data.


  5. Change the system property Logons Enabled? to No.
  6. Make sure your administrative session is the only admin session active.

To move a storage repository:

  1. Click Storage Repositories in the tree view window.

  2. Select the storage repository to be moved. A properties dialog appears.

  3. Modify the Device property to point to the new location.

  4. Click Save to save your change and close the Properties screen.
  5. Go to the System object and reset the Logons Enabled? property to Yes.
