The following are the steps I have used to build several test systems.

It involves getting a sql backup of mdb, with all login's in the backup and then restoring is to a test system that has been setup and have an existing mdb built. The existing mdb is copied over using the SQL restore.

Steps to go from migrated R11.x system to a R11 test system


  1. install the base product
  2. run the pdm_configure to setup and ensure the environment is correct.
  3. backup $NX_Root/site/mods on the production system
  4. do the following extract on production
    • pdm_extract wspcol > wspcol.txt
    • pdm_extract wsptbl > wsptbl.txt
  5. restore the wspcol / wsptab to the test system
    • pdm_load -f wspcol.txt
    • pdm_load -f wsptbl.txt
  6. delete the file $NX_Root/site/mods/wsp_schema.log (may not be present)
  7. log on to the Web Screen Painter
    1. open the Schema Designer
    2. open any table and make a dummy update (e.g. the description some place)
    3. choose 'File' -> 'Save and Publish'
    4. shutdown the Unicenter Service Desk services
    5. run pdm_publish
    6. start the Unicenter Service Desk services
    7. check for any errors
    8. sign on to Service Desk
    9. sign on to sql visual studio
      • verify that any schema changes are in place
    10. check the ddict.sch found in $nxroot\site verify fields are in the ddict
  8. copy $NX_Root/site/mods to the test system (see step 3)
  9. run the pdm_configure to setup and ensure the environment is correct.
    • check ddict.sch found in $NX_Root/site, to make sure that the fields were added correctly
  10. restore the database using SQL
  11. change the database name in the following table
    • dlgtsrv table
      1. change the primary server name to the test server name
        • sym from production name to test name
        • server from production name to test name
  12. change all the notifications in the usp_contact record to 'Notification'
    • c_cm_id1, c_cm_id2, c_cm_id3, c_cm_id4
    • SQL Command is update dbo.usp_contact SET c_cm_idx = 1801
  13. reboot the server
  14. before running pdm_configure, check the following
    • User ServiceDesk is active and available
    • Update ServiceDesk in the SQL database
  15. apply patches
