Chapter 6 - Migrating to a New Version

The steps required to migrate to a new version of Teamwork Server is simple. However, all the steps must be followed closely in order to have a successful migration. This chapter will describe how to migrate to a new version by moving the repository folder from the current version to the new version..

Starting the Teamwork Server Administrator

  1. Shut down the current version of the Teamwork Server if it is started.
  2. Install the new version of the Teamwork Server by specifying a different installation location with respect to the current version. Do NOT overwrite the current version directly.

    During the installation, you can select the Installation Type, either Server and Admin, Server Only and Admin Only. If Server and Admin or Admin Only is selected, the Teamwork Administrator will launch automatically when the installation is completed. At that time, exit the Teamwork Administrator directly.
