Sonarqube DB Copy Tool Jar包获取咨询：如何获取该工具及指南？

I’ve run into this exact head-scratcher while working with SonarQube Enterprise Edition, so let me walk you through what you need to know:

Jar File Acquisition #

The Sonar DB Copy Tool isn’t publicly listed in the plugin marketplace or easy to find via general searches—it’s exclusive to SonarQube Enterprise and Data Center Edition users. Here’s how to get it:

• SonarSource Account Downloads: Log into your SonarSource account (the same one you used to obtain your Enterprise trial license) and head to the "Downloads" or "Tools" section. The DB Copy Tool jar will be listed alongside other Enterprise-only utilities here.
• Support Request: If you can’t locate it in your account, reach out to SonarSource’s support team with your trial license details. They’ll send you a direct download link for the jar right away.

Usage Guidelines #

While the public docs are light on details, there are reliable ways to get up to speed:

• Built-in Help Command: Once you have the jar, run this command to pull up detailed usage instructions and available flags:

  java -jar sonar-db-copy-tool.jar --help
  

• Included Documentation: The download package usually comes with a README.md file that breaks down step-by-step workflows for common tasks—like migrating databases, copying project data between instances, and handling schema compatibility.
• Private Account Docs: Your SonarSource account also has access to Enterprise-specific documentation covering best practices, troubleshooting, and large-scale migration tips that aren’t available publicly.

Just a quick reminder: Make sure your trial license is active and linked to the account you use to access these resources—access is restricted to licensed users only.
