Q: How do I migrate my QWS Server to another installation?

A: In the event migration is required, the database will need to be manually migrated. The following steps outline this process:

1. Log into original QWS Server as user qdocument, using default admin credentials
2. To copy the contents of the qwsc database to the qwsc_data.sql file, type “mysqldump -u qdocument -p qwsc > qwsc_data.sql“. Enter the qdocument password to execute
3. Move the qwsc_data.sql file to new QWS Server
4. Go to directory containing the moved qwsc_data.sql file, and run “mysql -u qdocument -p -h localhost qwsc < qwsc_data.sql”. This will replace the contents of the qwsc database with the state stored in the qwsc_data.sql file.
