Create a bamboo 5.4.2 test environment - upgrade to version 7.0.3

aldo david martinez alarcon

good afternoon, I am trying to upload a copy of the bamboo 5.4.2 database on a test server, with the same version of bamboo and the oracle database, but when adding the connection to the database I get I get the following message "The database contains existing data." But what I want is to consume it to have an environment similar to the production one and apply the upgrades there.

 

Thanks for your help.

I assume you are following the Bamboo wizard in your browser to make the connection to the database? This will always try to create a new Bamboo instance on an empty database.

Instead you should manually set your database configuration in the bamboo.cfg.xml file and point it to the right DB. The easiest way is to copy the file from the original environment and make your changes.
