Multi Database

To Upgrade a Local Database, without a Connection to the Multi Db

Tip

1.Before upgrading View, use Windows Explorer to locate the [user].mdb file(s) on the PC. For example, if a user account called “night operator” is used to log on to View, look for a “nightwatch.mdb” file. These files need to be moved after the Multi software upgrade.

2.After installing the upgrade to View, move every [user].mdb file (that you located in step 1) to the latest installation folder.

3.Start View. As each user logs on for the first time to the upgraded View, a dialog box appears stating that the local database needs an upgrade.

4.Click Yes. The [user].mdb file is upgraded, after being backed up to [user].bak.

On PCs used by many accounts, there is a [user].mdb file for each account.

Producing a Local Database

Tip

Obtaining a local database, not connected to Multi db

Your Multi SA can deliberately make it impossible for operators to connect to a Multi db when using MinAdmin. Your Multi SA may then elect to provide View Operators with a computer file of the local database. The next procedure indicates how to make a local database from a command line.

Before using a command line to create a local multi database, please run Admin once before doing so. If not, an error results.

To Make a Local Database

1.Check if View has run on the PC you are using; if you are unsure, run View and exit.

2.Using Windows, run a command line utility and type: remadmin.exe “[name of user account]”. The double-quotes are needed only for spaces or non-alpha-numeric characters, such as an apostrophe. This produces a [name of user account].mdb file.

3.Distribute the *.mdb file to the View Operator. The user needs to copy the file to the folder holding the View.exe file. See the examples, below.

Examples

acceptable

d:> remadmin.exe “O’Donnell #4” d:> remadmin.exe ODonnell4

error

d:> remadmin.exe O’Donnell #4 // double-quotes are needed.
