Migrating from a multi ITP/MDK Repository setup

If several ITP/MDK Repositories earlier than version 2.2.0 are used in your organization a procedure must be followed to make sure that the Export/Import will function as intended after the new version is installed.

Because you want the importing ITP/MDK Repository to know the source of a file so it does understand that when a new revision is imported it is a new revision and not a completely new file, one, if you like, 'source' repository is needed. From this all other Repositories can be filled using the export/import mechanism. This leads to the following procedure:

• Create one comprehensive source ITP/MDK Repository.
• Upgrade that ITP/MDK Repository.
• Clear all other ITP/MDK Repositories' databases.
• Use the Export mechanism (Archive method) in the source ITP/MDK Repository to export all projects.
• Use the Import mechanism in all other ITP/MDK Repositories to import the projects.
