HOWTO:Export SQL Global Data to File Based Database

Command Line Shortcut: NONE User Permissions Level: All Product Level: All Describes procedure for exporting your v6 SQL Global Database into a file based version that you can sync with v7.

---

Summary

As of this writing WireCAD v7.0.0.1083 Global Equipment Database cannot reside on the same server as WireCAD v6. We are working to correct this but in the mean time, you will need to export the data from the v6 SQL database into a file base database (VISTADB). Then you can sync that with the v7 global db.

Before You Start

You will need WireCAD v6 and WireCAD v7 installed. They can reside on the same machine. You will need them both authorized.

HOW TO

1. Open WireCAD v6.
2. Create a dummy project. Maybe name it MyDummyProject. You will need the path to this project later.
3. Click Project>Utilities>Pack-up CheckOut.
4. If you created a SQL dummy project I recommend using the CheckOut function. That way you can check the project back in later and still have a SQL project.
