Merging/combining two Reviewboard servers together

[rob....@gmail.com]

Hi All,

Has anyone tried to merge two reviewboard servers together? We've recently acquired a new one, and are looking for ways to combine them into a single server, if possible.

I'm assuming it's not (or if it is, it's very extremely complex) but just thought I'd ask first.

Hi Rob,

Sorry for the late response here.

There isn't really a way of doing this right now. We do have import/export capabilities being worked on for Power Pack, but as review requests rely on IDs, and two cannot share the same IDs, you'll be limited to one of two options:

1. Changing the IDs on all review requests being merged in.

2. Putting the review requests in their own Local Site (a sort of self-contained partition within a Review Board server). This would alter the URLs, but preserve the review request IDs. The IDs for reviews, comments, etc. would not be preserved.

This feature is still in development. We've been working with support customers on testing it as we continue to develop it. If you were to use it, I'd advise testing it thoroughly on a test copy of the server and databases.

Thanks, Christian! I suspected as much. Import/export may help with doing this, but we'll discuss internally to see how we want to proceed. Worse case, we'll just run and maintain multiple instances.

Thanks again!
