# Restore projects in new site administration database schema

To view projects in Site Administration, on the machine on which the new version of OpenText Application Quality Management has been installed, restore projects you removed above as follows:

Project restore considerations

- Before restoring the project, make sure that the database where the project resides exists in the Servers tab in Site Administration on your OpenText Application Quality Management server. The OpenText Application Quality Management server needs to access the contents of the restored project from the project's database.

- When restoring a project, you should select the dbid.xml file located in the project repository. This ensures that the project retains its original ID. If a project does not have its original ID, the following cross project features may not function properly: cross project customization, importing and synchronizing libraries, and cross project graphs.

- If you are restoring your project from a different directory, or if you renamed your schema or restored it to a different database, you must update the dbid.xml file accordingly.

- You must first restore and upgrade any template projects before restoring and upgrading other projects. If the template project and its linked projects are in different databases, ensure that the template project’s database is accessible when restoring any linked projects.

To restore access to an OpenText Application Quality Management project:

1. Navigate to the project's dbid.xml file. The file is located in the project repository's qc sub-directory.

   For details on the project structure, refer to the Understanding the Project Structure section in the the help.

2. Open the file and update the following values:

   Note:

   - To identify the values of DB_CONNSTR_FORMAT and DB_USER_PASS, it is recommended to create a new, empty project in OpenText Application Quality Management Site Administration, open the project's dbid.xml file, and copy these values. You can later delete the empty project.

   - Make sure not to change the original value for PR_SMART_REPOSITORY_ENABLED.

   - If you are restoring LAB_PROJECT or OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering projects as part of the upgrade process, make sure not to edit the PROJECT_UID value. You must restore these projects with their original PROJECT_UID value to maintain the links between LAB_PROJECT and its associated OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering projects. This is important for shared data, such as timeslots, runs, and so on.

   - DB_NAME. Update to the database schema name as it appears in the database server.

   - DB_CONNSTR_FORMAT. Update to the value of the empty project created in OpenText Application Quality Management. See the note for details.

   - DBSERVER_NAME. This is the name of the database server as defined in the DB Servers tab in Site Administration.

   - DB_USER_PASS. Update if the encrypted passphrase differs between the previous installation and OpenText Application Quality Management.

   - PHYSICAL_DIRECTORY. Update to the new location of the project repository. It must contain a backslash (\) at the end of the path.

3. Save the file.

4. In Site Administration, click the Site Projects tab.

5. Click the Restore Project or Restore Template button. The Restore Project dialog box opens.

6. To locate the file that includes the project that you want to restore, click the browse button to the right of the dbid.xml file location box. The Open File dialog box opens.

7. Locate the project's dbid.xml file.

8. Select the dbid.xml file and click Open. The Restore Project dialog box opens and displays the database type, name, server, and the directory path of the project.

9. In the Restore Into Domain box, select the domain in which you want the restored project to be located.

10. Click Restore.

11. If your database server does not have the text search feature enabled, a message box opens. You can enable the text search feature before or after this process completes.

    - Click Yes to continue this process. After the process completes, you can enable the text search feature.

    - Click No to stop this process. Enable the text search feature and then restart the process.

12. When the restore process completes, click OK.

13. Click Close to close the Restore Project dialog box and view the restored project in the Projects list.
