Repository Manager

Note: If you create a new Benchmark Factory 5.5 (or later) repository, earlier versions of Benchmark Factory will not work against this repository.

The Repository is a database where all of the test results are stored. Benchmark Factory inserts test results into the repository and provides an easy way to access the data. By default, the Repository is a SQLite database that resides on the same machine as Benchmark Factory. The Repository can reside on another database server if required.

Note: By default in Benchmark Factory 7.1.1 or earlier, a MySQL database is created and used as the Repository, unless you selected the SQLite option during installation. In Benchmark Factory 7.2 or later, by default a SQLite database is created and used as the Repository.

To change the database, select the Data Source Name of the ODBC connection for the new database. To migrate data from one database to another, click Data Migration to open the Data Migration Wizard.

Note: If the database structure does not exist on the selected database, a prompt to create the structure will appear when OK is clicked.

The supported database types are:

  • MySQL
  • SQL Server®
  • SQLite
  • SAP SQL Anywhere® (Adaptive Server® Anywhere)
  • Oracle®

Data Repository Migration Wizard

The Data Repository Migration Wizard allows you to migrate the Benchmark Factory testing repository from one database type to another. For example, from the default SQLite database to a Microsoft SQL Server database.

For information about using the Command Line to run the Data Migration Wizard, see Migrating Repository Data Using the DOS Command Line.

To use the Data Repository Migration Wizard

  1. To open the wizard from the Benchmark Factory application, select Tools | Repository Data Migration.
  2. When the Data Migration Wizard opens, click Next.

  3. In the Choose a Data Source page, select the data source name for the database from which you want to migrate Benchmark Factory data.
    • To migrate data from the default SQLite database installed and used with any new installation of Benchmark Factory 7.2 or later, select Default SQLite.

      Note: The option to use a default SQLite database was also available in Benchmark Factory 7.1.1 or earlier.

  4. Enter the user name and password, if necessary (for example, if migrating from a non-default database). Click Next.
  5. In the Choose a Destination page, select the data source name of the database to which you want to migrate the data.
  6. Click Next. The Data Migration Wizard completion dialog displays.
  7. Click Finish.
