Hi guys I've been searching for an option in continua ci server to export and import an project and couldnt find, is it available ?
I don’t think there is one configured for Continua, but there is a tool for importing Final Builder Server projects. However, I found it easier to re-do them from scratch because the approaches are different.
Have a look at C:\Program Files\VSoft Technologies\ContinuaCI\Server\ImportFBS.exe and there are some command line options from memory.
We don’t have an exposed export/import function at this time. We did have someone working on it a while back but that dev is no longer here. When time permits I’ll have a look at the source and see what state it’s in. FWIW, export/import is most definitely on the todo list.
Ok no problem I will redo it
I hate to bump old threads, but…
We have to upgrade our build server from the ground up due to some hardware issues and would love the ability to export from the old machine and and import into the new machine.
Hi Jeremy,
Although we don’t yet have any way to export and import individual projects and configurations, you can transfer the whole works to the new server. Almost everything is stored in the database, so it’s a case of backing up the database and the Continua.Server.Service.exe.config file (which has the connection string for the database) and then restoring it on the second machine. You’ll then need to adjust the config file on the new machine.
The backup and restore process is documented here: Backing up the Continua database.
Exporting and importing is on our to-do list. We’ll get on to it eventually as it would also be useful for us!
