The steps to export, back up and import data are not markedly different form those of the Stand-Alone installation.
The only differences are:
- With a client-server installation, you must export the preferences for each user.
- You must back up the file ec.ini, and copy it back to the installation folder after the new installation.
In particular, proceed as follows:
- Export and back-up the data from the existing installation as you would for a stand-alone installation (see Exporting the current information model).
- Back-up the file ec.ini (located in the EEC installation folder).
- Remove the existing installation.
- Install the new EEC version.
- Copy the backed-up ec.ini back to the EEC installation folder.
- Use the program ec_admin.exe to delete the demonstration database (see Removing a database).
- Use the program ec_admin.exe to create a new database (see Creating a database).
- Import the backed-up data by using the program ec_admin.exe (see Importing model data).
- Use the program ec_admin.exe to update the model (see Updating a model).
- Apply the resources from the compressed resource folder (see Restoring resources).
- Apply the preferences (see Restoring preferences).
Note:
The user preferences have to be applied for each user separately.
