This article explains how to export and import a StoreFront Subscription Database.

Instructions

To export a StoreFront database:

1. Ensure that the StoreFront console is closed.

2. Create a snapshot of a store’s subscription data using the following PowerShell cmdlets:

   1. Add the Snapin Module using the following command:
      Add-PSSnapin Citrix.DeliveryServices.SubscriptionsManagement.Commands
   2. Export the file using the following command:
      Export-DSStoreSubscriptions –StoreName StoreName –FilePath DataFile  (DataFile is the name that you want the file to be. The default location is C:\Windows\System32\”FileName”)
      Note: If Store name has spaces enter in quotes”

To import a StoreFront database

The database can be imported to the same store or to a different store, as long as the Display Name of the Delivery Controllers match on both stores (Exporting from and Importing to). To verify do the following:

• Open the MMC on both Storefront servers (Exporting from and Importing to).
• Navigate to Stores > Select the store > Manage Delivery Controllers and confirm both Stores contain the same Delivery Controller's name and type.

Once verified, use the following command to import the Storefront database:

Import-DSStoreSubscriptions –StoreName StoreName –FilePath FilePath (FilePath is the filename. The default location is C:\windows\system32)
