Migrate the "config" directory

The config subdirectory in the custom\<client> directory contains properties files referencing configuration data in the xml subdirectory. To transfer these configuration files from a PPM 5 client to a PPM 9.9 client please proceed as follows.

Procedure

  1. Switch to the <PPM5_HOME>/custom/<client>/ directory and copy the config directory to the clipboard.
  2. Then change to the <PPM99_DATA>/custom/<client>/ directory and paste the directory.
  3. Go to the directory <PPM99_DATA>/custom/<client>/config/ and move (e.g., to ..\config_bak) or delete all properties files except for the following files:

    activate_attributes.properties
    activate_ki.properties
    activate_merge.properties
    activate_ptree.properties

  4. Use a text editor to open the remaining properties files and adapt the paths so that they reference the relevant files in the xml directory, which is located at the same level as the config directory.

    Make sure that you use relative paths and / as separators between the individual path parts. The home directory is now <PPM99_CLIENT_RUN>/bin. This means that you need to replace ../ by ../../../../../work/data_ppm/.
