JDBC Drivers, data flows and properties removed upon upgrade
have just upgraded to the latest desktop version of dataverse and noticed a couple of things.
All data flows are removed - dont forget to export them ready to import back up
When importing back in none of the properties are pulled back into the data flow (this is a pain when you have DB URLs, file directories set up)
The installation overrides the existing set up by the look of it and ended up removing a JDBC driver i had for the as400 db2 so have had to add the driver back into the folder location from which it was removed.

Hi Martin,
I'm sorry to hear of the upgrade issues you are having.
Just to confirm - did you choose the upgrade existing installation option during the install? The data flows should be maintained when doing an upgrade rather than a clean install.
When restoring from a backup post-install (as opposed to re-importing the set of exported data flows) the 'executions' folder needs to be copied into the site\data folder, as described in Section 2, point 10 of the Dataverse Desktop Installation Guide.
Re. the JDBC driver, where was this installed on your system prior to the upgrade?
Thanks, Adrian
