Creating new local replicas of the upgraded course databases

The upgrade process changes the replica ID of the course databases. Therefore, you should make sure that any students or instructors who had been using local replicas of the old course databases create new replicas of the upgraded course databases.

For more information about replicating course databases, see LearningSpace Student Help. For more detailed information, see Notes Help.

Instructing students to recover their private documents

If you are upgrading a course that is currently active, you have to assist students in recovering their private documents. This is why it is recommended that you upgrade only inactive courses.

The upgrading procedure copies all course documents except those the student marked “Private to myself.” Therefore, you should tell students and instructors to recover their private documents by following the procedure described here.

Note The private documents of the person who performed the upgrade procedure are copied to the upgraded CourseRoom database automatically. All others must copy their private documents to the upgraded CourseRoom manually.

1.Add the archived copy of the CourseRoom to your Notes workspace. Choose File - Database - Open.

You’ll have to supply students and instructors with the correct path to the archived database. The path should be lspace\larchive\subdir where subdir is the subdirectory where the course had been stored before upgrading. They enter this in the Open Database dialog box in the filename field to select the archived database, and press Add Icon, and then press Done.

2.Open the old CourseRoom database.
