Copier plug-in

From JMoney

This plug-in enables you to copy data from one datastore to another. You would not usually use this plug-in on a day-to-day basis, but it is useful, for example, if you have your accounts in XML format and you would like to move them into a JDBC database.

Note: This plug-in is not required to transfer the datastore between two different formats supported by the SerializedDatastore plug-in. That plug-in supports the 'Save As' menu and determines the format from the file extension, so you can simply load your data in one format and then save it in a file with an extension appropriate for the new required format.

To migrate the data:

• Ensure you have installed the both the plug-in that supports the source datastore and the plug-in that supports the destination datastore (as well as the copier plug-in)
• Load your datastore into JMoney using the appropriate menu action under "File"
• Select "Copy to Clipboard" from the "Edit" menu
• Load a new empty datastore in the required destination format using the appropriate menu action under "File"
• Select "Paste" from the "Edit" menu

If you have a large datastore this might take a while.
