Navigation: WireCAD Databases > Database Transfer and Sychronization |
|
Sometimes it is desirable to transfer the data from one database to another. WireCAD provides a means by which to do this.
Place databases in the ...\WireCAD5\DBUpdates\ folder for automatic synchronization with existing databases. Synchronization will occur upon launching the program.
Note: In order for the program to recognized the database, they must be named as follows:
Equipment database should be named -- dbEquip.mdb
Project Manager database should be named -- dbPM.mdb
Your existing databases will be renamed to dbEquipOld.mdb and dbPMold.mdb and replaced with the newly synchronized version. If you need to revert, rename the old ones. |
Your existing databases are given priority so that if you have made any changes or additions, they should not be discarded. However, conflicts can occur. If a conflict occurs, you will be notified. Use the conflict resolver (Databases>Resolve Conflicts) to determine which records to keep or discard.
