I saw this post about testing a given content db for compatibility with a 2010farm.www.sharepointjoel.com/.../Post.aspx?List=0cd1a63d%2D183c%2D4fc2%\2D8320%2Dba5369008acb&ID=288here is the basic command in PS:Test-SPContentDatabase –Name <database name> -WebApplication <URL>So my question involves the process..I am moving a content db to a server that is hosting a SP2010 farm and sql 2008.I restore the db in the new sql in the new farm.At this point, the db is not attached to the farm..it only exists in the db sohow can I put a parameter for the web app since it is not part of the web app?UNLESS..the parameter is only for testing to see if that db will work in that web app..Am I way off here?
The web app URL is just so that Test-SPContentDatabase can test if thatdatabase will work with that web app. Since some functionality is scopedat the web application level, that's really the only way for it todetermine if the site collections in that content database will workwhen attached.
Cool, thanks for the reply..That is what I thought and went ahead and tried it in a test environment.And lo and behold, it worked..
