How to find the active site admin_db for HP ALM?
Question ID: 107512

Hello,
We are trying to clean up our instance of HP ALM and we see that there are several siteadmin_db schemas within our DB (we assume from old attempted upgrades and testing) and would like to know how to find out the active siteadmin_db schema and is it safe to get rid of the other not being used versions?

Thanks,
HomerJ

Hi HomerJ,
The siteadmin that is active for your installation is declared within the siteadmin.xml. You should find it under the xml tag: DbName.
This can be found at the deployed 20qcbin.war file (path should be like the following: C:ProgramDataHPALMapplication20qcbin.warWEB-INF, this is the default installation path location and if you have a custom path specified during installation then you should adjust accordingly).

This should get you the active siteadmin_db from your installation. To verify that you have the correct schema, you can create a new blank project with a unique name and then go into that schema on your DB and verify that the Projects Table within the siteadmin_db you suspect has the new project as this will insure that you are then correctly pointed to the siteadmin_db schema you were trying to find (you can also just do this as a standalone to see the correct one for sure without going into the path structure).

Hope this helps,
Dan
