Select this option to import data into or to export data from the configured RMS application database.

You can use the export option to backup the data in your RMS application database.

3. Convert RMS Database

Select this option to convert the currently configured database to an alternate database platform.This

option automates the process of creating a new database on the Microsoft SQL Server, migrating the data

from the existing database to the new database, and re-configuring the RMS application's connection

settings to use this new database.

4. Apply RMS Update Script

Select this option if you have a database update script that you need to apply to your database. Database

update scripts are created by AMX to provide a means of updating the existing database in place.

Configure Connection

Select this button to re-configure the RMS database connection settings.

Create / Remove

Create new database.

Select this option to create a new RMS application database.

2. Remove / Delete existing database.

Select this option to delete an RMS application database file or remove an RMS application database

from a database server.

The export function of the Database Wizard should not be used as a replacement for

standard network and systems backup procedures typically performed by an IT

department, but rather in addition to standard backup procedures. The export

function creates a snapshot of the data contents in the RMS database, but does not

backup the database file nor the database server.
