I’m not sure what role MongoDB plays in the new deadline. Can I dump my files from /DeadlineRepository/Settings/ to the new repository?
You need to install a fresh Repository for Deadline 6 and reinstall the clients. The vast majority of the data that used to be stored in the repository (jobs, slaves, settings, etc) are now stored in the Mongo database. The installation procedure is covered in the PDF/CHM docs that you can download alongside the installers.
Note that this docs are already out of date. While you can still install Mongo manually, the repository installers can now install the MongoDB database for you.
We’ll make an effort to update these docs for the beta 6 release.
