migrate DATA from internal DB to PostgreSQL

0
Searching for information on how to move my existing DATA (not just Domain Model) from the Mendix internal DB to PostgreSQL.  Closest I could see was this: Migrate Your Mendix Database | Mendix Documentation but it has a window that wants source information. Where do i get source information for the internal DB? In the sollowing, what values does the following need if the source is the default (internal) DB?   Then the paragraph (4) that I thought would give details gives nothing except to point back to the above.   Any help appreciated.

Support finally resolved the issue. Overall the documentation is OK but the missing key is this:

I have done this several times between PostgreSQL and MS SQL, but never used the internal HSQLDB as starter db type. Typically the input is of a well known (not HSQLDB) type like Oracle or MS and it always needs a proper IP address + port number on which the db is accessible. HSQLDB are flat files with SQL statements. My advice is to ask support about these settings as this is quite a corner case scenario.I have doubts whether this is possible in the first place for HSQLDB specifically

Anyone that knows how this should work from PostgreSQL to built-in. The documentation says it is possible, but after I filled in the Source parameters, the app just starts without importing anything (or throwing an error).

 

EDIT: Turns out I had to remove the database from the deployment folder. It works fine now!

Hello,

I have a second question on that topic:

I have a mendix app (Testversion) running locally and I deployd it to private cloud. The cloud App is empty. Now I want to migrate the data from the local to the cloud version.

In the Mendix documentation it is explained that I should open the target app: "To do this, start your app on the database you would like to copy the data to. " (https://docs.mendix.com/howto9/data-models/migrating-your-mendix-database/

chapter 2)

How am I supposed to start the cloudApp in Studio Pro? There I only have the local one.

Or should I start the cloudApp in Browser? But how to put in the custom settings for the source database?

I would appreciate any help.
