34.5.1 Preparing to Move the Data

Before moving the data from an internal Sybase database to an external Sybase database, do the
following:

Make sure that ZENworks 10 Configuration Management is installed with an internal Sybase
database on a Windows or Linux device.

Install the external Sybase database. For more information on how to install an external Sybase
database, see “

Installing an External ZENworks Database

” in the

ZENworks 10 Configuration

Management Installation Guide

34.5.2 Moving the Data from the Internal Sybase to the External
Sybase

On the device that has the external Sybase database installed, stop the Novell ZENworks

From the device that has the internal Sybase database installed, copy

zenworks_database.conf

and all files within the

database

directory to the appropriate

directories on the device that has the external Sybase database.
The

zenworks_database.conf

is located in the

ZENworks_installation_path

\conf\

directory on Windows and in the

/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/

directory on Linux.

The

database

directory is located in

ZENworks_installation_path

on Windows and in the

/var/opt/novell/zenworks/

directory on Linux.

On the device that has the external Sybase database installed, open

zenworks_database.conf

On the device that has the internal Sybase database installed, edit

zdm.xml

(located in

ZENworks_installation_path

\conf\datamodel

on Windows and in
