Copying a Data Source

You can copy the data source of your IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) in the UMS Administrator as described in this article. This function is useful when migrating to a different database.

Example Configuration

To switch your UMS database from an Embedded DB to an external database system, see the detailed instructions in How to Migrate a UMS Database From Embedded DB to Microsoft SQL Server .

Menu path: UMS Administrator > Datasource

Default path to the UMS Administrator:

Linux: /opt/IGEL/RemoteManager/RMAdmin.sh
Windows: C:\Program Files\IGEL\RemoteManager\rmadmin\RMAdmin.exe

The IGEL UMS Administrator application can only be started on the UMS Server.
