How can I revert back to my previous MS Access backend configuration after a problem with the upgrade to the SQL back end

 

Solution:

 

Reverting back to MS Access after an Unsuccessfull Migration.

 

The following example was migrated on Dec. 25, 2010.

 

Your date/timestamp will vary.

 

Stop the KnowledgeSync Windows Service

OR

Stop the KnowledgeSync Desktop Service

 

Close All KnowledgeSync modules i.e. Event Manager, Administrator or Event Monitor.

 

Check the Task Manager for "All Users" and verify no KS_*.exe processes are running.

 

If any are running, end them immediately.

 

Got to the following folder (yours may vary depending on the path of your KnowledgeSync installation):

 

C:\Program Files\Vineyardsoft\KnowledgeSync 2000\Data

 

Do the following

 

Rename KS_Object.mdb to KS_Object_SQL.mdb

 

Rename KS_Inbox.mdb to KS_Inbox_SQL.mdb

 

Copy KS_Triggered_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb to KS_Triggered.mdb

 

Copy KS_Changed_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb to KS_Changed.mdb

 

Copy KS_Inbox_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb to KS_Inbox.mdb

 

Copy KS_Object_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb to KS_Object.mdb

 

 

By following these procedures you will leave all Pre-Migration databases intact.

KS_Inbox_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb

KS_Object_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb

KS_Triggered_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb

KS_Changed_PreMigration_201011225153415.mdb

 

We will also have a backup of your current SQL databases:

KS_Object_SQL.mdb

KS_Inbox_SQL.mdb

 

Start the KnowledgeSync Windows Service.

 

You have now successfully reverted back to the KnowledgeSync MS Access Back-end.
