Moving of load tests results database
Hi,
I have executed a bunch of load tests. I have .trx files with results and a database with results (on SQL 2000). I need to move the results database to a different server.
Is it possible to alter the .trx file to link it to a different database (the same database but different server indeed) then the original one? The connection strings (or "connection details") are encrypted in the .trx...
Best regards,
Lada

After you move your results database to a new server, run a load test against the new server. Take the encrypted connect string from that .trx and replace the connect string in your old .trx files. Then try to open the modified .trx.
I haven't tested this case, but I think it would work.
Thanks,
Rick
It won't work. The encrypted string is not just a connection string. It seems to be also the identification of an individual result in the database - there is nothing else in the .trx file wich would locate the result in the database. So if you rerun the tests even with the original database, "connect strings" would be different.
In addition, I have the results database on the machine with a test controller. I need to reposition the results database because the servers will be reinstalled and used for other things after the tests. And therefore I will not be able to rerun the tests.
