Managing Your Local Databases

Each workstation running AVWorks contains a local database that records the information that you enter about your units. If you have multiple workstations, you may configure one station and then save a copy of this database and load it into the other stations to avoid unnecessarily reconfiguring each station. You may also export the database for use in another application.

Saving a database

AVWorks allows you to save a copy of the local database for later use. The saved database can then be loaded back to the same computer where it was created, or it can be loaded onto another AVWorks client. The saved database is compressed into a single Zip file.

While the database is being saved, no other activity is allowed. All other windows including Video Session windows and Appliance Management Panel windows must be closed. If other windows are open, a message will appear prompting you to either continue and close all open windows or quit and cancel the database save process.

To save a database:

1.Select File - Database - Save. The Database Save dialog box appears.

3.Click Save. A progress bar appears during the save. When finished, a message appears indicating that the save was successful and you are returned to the main window.
