Migrating flex.bi Enterprise server
If you need to migrate your flex.bi Enterprise instance to a different server or host, you need to complete 3 easy steps.
Migrating flex.bi database

To do this, run this command on the old server. (Exchange thenew_server_ip
with the actual IP of the new server.)CODErsync -avz /home/flexbi/flexbi_mysqldump.sql root@new_server_ip:/home/flexbi/flexbi_mysqldump.sql
Import the transferred mysql dump file into the MySQL server on the new server. (Exchange
