The "database management" section was just a big fourre-tout. This commit splits a new "Practical Info" section from the "Applications" section and split the db management page in 3 sub-pages that will be soon extended.

Duplicating a database
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
You can duplicate your database by accessing the database manager on your
|
|
server (<odoo-server>/web/database/manager). In this page, you can easily
|
|
duplicate your database (among other things).

When you duplicate a local database, it is **strongly** advised to change
|
|
the duplicated database's uuid (Unniversally Unique Identifier), since this
|
|
uuid is how your database identifies itself with our servers. Having two
|
|
databases with the same uuid could result in invoicing problems or registration
|
|
problems down the line.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: From July 2016 onward, Odoo 9 now automatically change the uuid of a
|
|
duplicated database; a manual operation is no longer required.
|
|
|
|
The database uuid is currently accessible from the menu **Settings > Technical
|
|
> System Parameters**, we advise you to use a
|
|
`uuid generator <https://www.uuidgenerator.net>`__ or to use the unix command
|
|
``uuidgen`` to generate a new uuid. You can then simply replace it like any
|
|
other record by clicking on it and using the edit button.
