Datasources in CF8

You can migrate your datasources form CF7 to CF8 using the migration wizard.

Hi Jochem.

I did beta test CF8 (and made a few posts, too). And through the betas I was able to simply copy neo-query.xml. Worked like a champ.

Yes.

You -really- should join beta's and test. That is when it makes a
difference.

I'm installing new instances on an existing JRun server. No automagic upgrade for me.

CF8 doesn't store the datasources in neo-query.xml. There is another file called neo-datasource.xml.

Our datasources were automatically copied from CF7 to CF8 when we did the upgrade (on a Windows system).

Wonderful. Anyone write a converter? If I create a .car file (if I can actually manage to get it to work) and import it, would that work?

I -really- don't want to move 150 datasources by hand.

The format has changed between 7 and 8.

I can see this file in /opt/coldfusion8/lib directory

$ ls /opt/coldfusion8/lib/neo-query.xml
/opt/coldfusion8/lib/neo-query.xml
