How can I move Yellowfin users from 1 install to another?
14 November, 2012
Hello,
I have a question, which is the best manner to export the users of Yellowfin.
I have searched in the forum and I see that it doesn't exist an option to do that.
Then I have looked the database system (where Yellowfin stores all the reports, users, etc.) and I have found this two tables: Person and ipcontact
In the Person table I have all the information of users.
In the ipcontact I have all the email of users.
If I export this 2 tables I have all the information of the users of Yellowfin? Or I need more tables?
The reason to export the users is because If I want to create a FilterValue table to use with scheduled Sql Filter Value I need the users.
Thanks

Hi,
If you simply wanted to move the users for the source filter, then that is fine.
You can get their email addresses from the IpContact table.
However if you wanted to completely move these users so they could actually log into the new system, then I would suggest using the Bulk User Import.
You can script the data from your tables into the CSV under the relevant tables, and then just import it in.
Please let me know if you run into any issues with this, or have further questions.
