Transferring PDM Vault
Transferring PDM Vault
(OP)
Afternoon all,
I want to create, set up and trial a vault on my laptop and then transfer it to my work server once I am happy with it.
My reasons are...
1) More time to trial the vault.
2) I can't seem to get 5 minutes to myself in the office.
I am the only person using the vault, as I am the only Solid Works user. Are there any best practices that I should follow when transferring a vault?
Finally, how do you transfer a vault? Is it a case of overwriting the unwanted Vault Data folder with the correct Vault Data folder. Or should I be using PDMW Export?
Do I have to manually make sure that all of the Lifecycle/Revision options in VaultAdmin are identical, or can I choose to copy the settings over (from the laptop version)?
Cheers

I think it is worth the time to set it up on the server then test it from your laptop. If you have only 5 min, try doing it during lunch time.

Remember make backups and once you begin to login to the laptop vault you will have to give it the vault name.

You have to be careful with PDMWorks because it keeps the entire database in memory and rebuilds it from the physical folder structure. So if you change the folder while the database is in memory bad things happen.
