Manage Products

The IDERA Dashboard hosts IDERA products that register with the Dashboard. To access product management in the IDERA Dashboard, either select Manage Products from the Administration menu or click Manage Products on the Administration view of the IDERA Dashboard. In the Manage Products window you can perform the following actions:

2. Select the product you want to register from the available list or type in the name of the product.

3. Click Yes. The IDERA Dashboard unregisters the product and users can no longer access that product.

Migrating a product to another IDERA Dashboard installation

Users who have multiple IDERA products also may have more than one version or installation of the IDERA Dashboard. To take advantage of all of the features of the latest version of the IDERA Dashboard, you can migrate your products from one version of the IDERA Dashboard to another. This process migrates data to the target installation of the IDERA Dashboard and un-registers the product from the previous IDERA Dashboard.

Use the following steps to migrate an IDERA product from one installation or version of the IDERA Dashboard to another.

1. In the Manage Products view, select the product you want to migrate from one installation of the IDERA Dashboard to another.
2. Verify that the Edit Product dialog displays the information for the correct product, and then click Migrate product. The IDERA Dashboard displays the Migrate to different IDERA Dashboard dialog.
   
3. Type the name of the host machine on which the target IDERA Dashboard is installed and the port number.
4. In the Dashboard Administrator section, type the user name and password for the target IDERA Dashboard administrator account using the domain\username format.
5. Click Migrate. The IDERA Dashboard migrates the product to the target IDERA Dashboard.
