Quality Profiles - Copying From One Instance to Another

[What_Just_Happened]

Hi SQ Users,

I am trying to move from one installation of /SonarQube/ to another. One of
the *Quality Profiles* for the Java language has a hundreds of rules
configured in-house. Is there a way I can copy this unique *Quality Profile*
to the new instance? I have a feeling it is going much more complex than
Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V. Is there a way to load this into the new database from the
previous database.

Please let me know if this does not make sense to you. Basically, I want to
copy all of the rules for the checker from one instance of /SonarQube/ to a
different one. I did not read anything about this on the official
documentation here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Quality+Profiles


Regards,

On the page listing the existing profiles, use the "Back up" link to
generate the rules out to a file. (Note that things like inheritance aren't
included in this file, it's just the rules and their severities &
parameters.) Then you'll be able to use the "Restore Profile" option to
import the profile on the target server.

Ann,

Thank-you for the reply. This is helpful information. I was able to transfer
the rules without issue. Although, I noticed that a few rules did not make
the jump but I am assuming that this is because they are obsolete or
something and are not going to be found on the latest version of SonarQube
as of this writing.

Respectfully,

I'm curious which rules didn't make the jump. If you've still got the data
available, could you let me know which ones it was (or rather, wasn't :-)?


Thx,
Ann
