Database copying between subscriptions missing in Plesk 12?

[Glyn_Jenkins]

I've been happily copy databases between subscriptions in Plesk 11.5xx for years but having updated to 12 the feature no longer works.

In the copy database screen when the 'local MySQL server' option is selected in the drop down the 'Copy to existing database' radio button is disabled.

My service provider tells me this is a feature change.

Surely this can't be right?

Looks like the 'Copy to existing database' function only works for existing databases in the same subscription.
However - you can workaround this by selecting 'other' as the target database server. Enter 'localhost' as
the target database server and insert the credentials of the database user and (existing & empty) database from the desired subscription.
Please keep in mind, that you have to create an empty database in the target subscription first.

Hi There

All of the databases I have setup are under me as Subscriber.
