I'd like to copy/clone a datastore to give access to a copy of my database for testing with all the same layers I have defined. Looking at datastore.xml it seems I'd need to simply
1. Shutdown geoserver 2. recursively copy the store directory to the new store name 3. In the new store, a) make the id unique (but how?) b) change the name to match the directory c) change the database name 4. start geoserver Will this work, and if yes, what is a safe way to change the id? Or do all the layers/featuretypes in the store also need new unique ids? If there is an easy way to make sure a unique id is generated I think it would still be quicker to go change all of them too (if possible) This seems like it would be a commonly requested feature as it is really laborious to recreate all your work if you just want a copy of what you have been doing against another db without running another instance of geoserver. thanks, charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
