Configure the database storage location

By default, the Job Ticketing Ticketing database is located in the following location:

<install path>/job-ticketing/data/derby

You can, however, change this location. To change the storage location:

1. Stop the Job Ticketing service.

2. Copy the <install path>/job-ticketing/data/derby folder to the new location.

   NOTE

   You can rename this folder if required.

3. Open the following file in a text editor:

   <install path>/job-ticketing/config/application.properties

4. Locate the following line in the file:

   database-location=<database location>

5. Change <database location> to your required location:

   This can be:

   • a relative path from the <install path>/job-ticketing/ folder. For example, database-location=data/database
   • an absolute path. For example, database-location=c:/data/job-ticketing/database
   IMPORTANT

   In Windows, to separate the folders in the path, you can use either:

   • a single forward slash—For example, database-location=c:/data/job-ticketing/database.
   • double back slashes—For example, database-location=c:\\data\\job-ticketing\\database.
6. Save the file.
7. Restart the Job Ticketing service.
8. When you’ve tested that everything works, delete the original <install path>/job-ticketing/data/derby folder.
