How do I convert the database from MSSQL to PGSQL ?

Kindly plan to perform this process ONLY during Non Operational hours. You can do this process in the same server that you have SDP MSP installed.

Step 1:  Stop the application and Take a backup of the existing data in the application. Navigate to the below path in CMD as an administrator.

ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\bin>BackUpData.bat

This backup will be stored under the default Backup folder in \ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\ directory or in the path where if you have specified.

Step 2: Now copy this Full backup to the Desktop or somewhere handy.

Step 3: Navigate to the below path in CMD to change the database type to PGSQL and save.

ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\bin>ChangeDBServer.bat

Step 4 : Start the application service once for the new tables to get created in the database. Login and check Help->About to see if DB shows PGSQL.

Step 5: Stop the application service.

Step 6: Navigate to the below path in CMD to restore the database.

\ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\bin>RestoreData.bat 

browse and select the latest backup taken.

Once the restore is complete you will get a pop up saying "Restore completed successfully", click Ok.

Step 7: Start the application service and check your data.

Step 8: License file can be obtained from the old server under \ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\lib and the file name would be AdventNetLicense.xml. License can be applied through Help->License at the right top corner of the application.
