Exporting, backing up and importing data for a Client-Server installation

The steps to export, back up and import data are not markedly different form those of the Stand-Alone installation.

The only differences are:

In particular, proceed as follows:

  1. Export and back-up the data from the existing installation as you would for a stand-alone installation (see Exporting the current information model).
  2. Back-up the file ec.ini (located in the EEC installation folder).
  3. Remove the existing installation.
  4. Install the new EEC version.
  5. Copy the backed-up ec.ini back to the EEC installation folder.
  6. Use the program ec_admin.exe to delete the demonstration database (see Removing a database).
  7. Use the program ec_admin.exe to create a new database (see Creating a database).
  8. Import the backed-up data by using the program ec_admin.exe (see Importing model data).
  9. Use the program ec_admin.exe to update the model (see Updating a model).
  10. Apply the resources from the compressed resource folder (see Restoring resources).
  11. Apply the preferences (see Restoring preferences).

Note:

The user preferences have to be applied for each user separately.
