Switch KM repository from FSDB to DB

[Former Member]

I want to know if anybody has tried to switch a FSDB repository to DB.

SAP documentation says that this is not possible in "Subsequent Change to the Persistence Mode", but what I want to do is export all content of my FSDB repository, create a new one of type DB, and then import all content on it.

Has anybody been success with this before?

Thanks in advance,

ESteve

Hi ESteve,

What your really describing is not changing the persistence layer of an existing repository.  You want to delete the existing repository and create a new one.  The new one would have a different persistence layer.  This should work.  You will have to restart the portal between the delete step and the create step, unless you use a different name.

Best regards,

This is what I meant, I forgot to say "remove existing".

Thank you Duncan.
