Moving AlarmTraq to
a new Server
This procedure will install a copy of AlarmTraq on a new server and move your existing
database.
Step 1: Backup your \Program Files\AlarmTraq\AlarmTraq.mdb
file to a safe location (desktop or temporary directory). This database contains
your alarm records, site-profiles, and maintenance objects.
Step 2: Backup your \Program Files\AlarmTraq\Backup\ConfigReport.txt
file to a safe location (desktop or temporary directory). This text
file contains your System-Wide settings and will be needed when setting up the new
server.
Open and print the ConfigReport.txt
file.
ConfigReport.txt
Step 3:
On the old server, un-install AlarmTraq using Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
Step 4:
On the new server, follow the instructions for a new installation
of AlarmTraq.
Step 5:
Once
the new installation has completed you can start AlarmTraq. The system will start
with the default database active and no license information. Disregard
any warning you receive about running in Evaluation mode or the number of Product
ID licenses available. A new license code will need to be installed on the new server
at the end of this proceedure.
Step 6: On the new server, shut down AlarmTraq then copy the previously
backed up AlarmTraq.mdb file to the new server overwriting the existing file located
at \Program Files\AlarmTraq\AlarmTraq.mdb.
Step 7:
Open AlarmTraq and verify that your sites-profiles and alarms are from your backed
up database.
Step 8:
Update your System-Wide Options settings
manually from the ConfigReport.txt file.
Step 9:
Contact Reilly Telecom to have the new server Product ID licenses installed.
