I would shutdown Documentum, take a back-up of your database and then restore it onto your new SQL Server 2005 server. You can then just point your Content Server to the new database server. I’ve done this before and it was a piece of cake.

Just be sure that when you do this that the SQL Server 2005 database has the same name and is owned by a user with the same name and password.

We then will move to new target hardware with SQL Server 2005 installed. Can we do a docbase dump from the legacy SQL Server 2000 docbase to the new CS 5.3 SP5 docbase on the new server, using SQL Server 2005? We can’t put SQL Server 2000 any more on new hardware, according to company policy!

If I hit problems, I’ll follow suit.

Whenever I set up a new personal development laptop/desktop I just go ahead and spend the $50 (have had problems – small and rare but pesky problems nevertheless so why bother – with the Express edition).

I found it, and other benchmarks, with the help of Google. I have updated my post.

Any suggestions for search term or exact name of the document? Thanks in advance.
