RDM upgrade process - Multiple installations RDM + installation wizard ?
Hi,
Currently we are on RDM Enterprise 14.0.5 with a SQL database (on prem server) as datasource.
I want to test the new release 2019.1.21.0, but without converting the database.
Therefor I have made a copy of the RDM database and will use this new database to connect a new installation to.
Ofcourse that will work, but I need to be able to use my current installation (14.0.5) as well for normal daily work.
Naturally I can use a seperate (virtual) machine to test a new installation, but it would be very cool to be able to use
2 different version on my machine, both connected to another data source (e.g. different SQL databases).
Is that possible ?
if not, can it be implemented ?
Maybe it is a good idea to create an installation wizard, where extra parameters have to be entered (like data source) to create a custom installation.
When different version of RDM will be installated into seperate installation folders, maybe that will make multiple installation of RDM possible.
(like RDM 14.x.x installation will be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\14 and new installation of RDM 2019.x.x will be installed into C:\Program Files (x86)\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\2019 )
Hello,
It's possible to install RDM in portable version on your computer without touching your current installation. You will download the zip file on our website and deploy it locally as per explain here

Regarding the data sources, you can create as many data sources as your needed in RDM. This means that can have 1 data source for your production environment and 1 data source for your test environment.
For the installation wizard, we offer a service call Custom Installer and this service allow you to deploy RDM with specific configurations like the data source or your license.
