380 Module 137: System Commissioning | Backing up and Restoring a Database
Upgrading a Database
If the database needs upgrading, this can be done by running the Setup.exe file of the currently installed
Protege GX software.
The software does not need to be uninstalled first, as it will only be used to upgrade the database structure.
Select the Repair option when prompted then follow the onscreen instructions.
The installer will cycle through versions one by one until the database is upgraded to the current version of
the software.
If you have made any changes to configuration files (such as Windows security settings) these may be
overwritten by the installer and will need to be updated again at the server.
Operator Credentials
The SQL database contains all system configuration, including operator credentials. This means that after a
database has been restored, the only valid operator login will be those that were valid at the time of backup.
Having restored the empty database for this exercise, the only valid operator is now admin with no password.
Server Details
Also stored in the configuration database are the details of the Event and Download Server.
If you have restored a database from a different server, the Server names will need to be updated.
Open Protege GX and navigate to Global | Event Server.
Ensure that the Computer Name matches the name of the PC it is installed on.
Navigate to Global | Download Server.
Ensure that the Computer Name matches the name of the PC it is installed on.
After updating the Event and Download Server details, you must restart the Protege GX Data Service.
