Moving Forms from one database to another
Started 12 years ago by leehylton | 2 posts |

I have 2 licensed copies of MachForms both with forms that I want to keep and am looking to consolidate these on to our newer server. I know I can get a mysqldump of the database and restore the whole thing and move my data folder over, but, that gets rid of my forms on the server that I would like to keep... I have tried dumping singe tables and restoring them into the MachForms server but cannot get them to show up. Am I missing a step? I have the single folder in my data folder with permissions set the same as the other form folders there, and the table that corresponds to that form is in the MySQL database. I can select and see the data. Any ideas?

I'm afraid at this moment there is no easy way to transfer selected forms from one installation to another. We have this on our todo list though.
As for now, you will need to manually copy the records from the database.
So, let say you have a form with id number 12114, then you will need to copy the "ap_form_12114" and "ap_form_12114_review" table.Then you will need to go through all other tables, copy any records which has "form_id" number 12114. Make sure not to miss any record, otherwise your form will be broken.
