Manual upgrades are still useful in some instances,
including shrinking your database size or moving
clients from one database to another. The manual
upgrade procedures actually condense or defrag
the data to the smallest possible size.
- Upgrading Your Exported Database To A New Installation
- This method uses exported database files to upgrade into a
new CV11 installation. Upgrade a CV8, CV10 or CV11 database
using these procedures.
- To obtain the exported database files for an upgrade:
- Exporting Your CV11 Database
- This procedure exports an entire CV11 database to a series of
ASCII text and import files. These files can be used to upgrade your
existing CV11 database to a newer version of CV11.
- Exporting Selected Clients and Records
- This procedure exports selected Clients and records from
a CV11 database to a series of ASCII text and import files. These
files can be used to upgrade into a new CV11 database.
- Exporting Your CV8 Database
- This procedure exports an entire CV8 database to a series of
ASCII text and import files. These files can be used to upgrade your
existing CV8 database to CV11.
- Exporting Your CV10 Database
- This procedure exports an entire CV10 database to a series of
ASCII text and import files. These files can be used to upgrade your
existing CV10 database to CV11.
- Upgrading Multiple Databases
- If you use more than one database in Collect!, you should
upgrade them at the same time as your primary working database.
Information about this process is explained so that you can
upgrade your databases easily and quickly.
