Making a Local Database

A local database is upgraded automatically when the user of View has an open
connection to the Multi db. If the connection is not available (laptop PCs, temporary
setups and so on), use the information in this section to upgrade a local database.
Mobile Users
You can upgrade View's local database without connecting to the Multi database.
Before upgrading View, use Windows Explorer to locate the [user].mdb file(s) on
1.
the PC. For example, if a user account called night operator is used to log on to View,
look for a night operator.mdb file. These files need to be moved after the Multi
software upgrade.
2. After installing the upgrade to View, move every [user].mdb file (that you located in
step 1) to the latest installation folder.
3. Launch View. As each user logs on for the first time to the upgraded View, a dialog
box appears stating that the local database needs an upgrade.
4. Click Yes. The [user].mdb file is upgraded, after being backed up to [user].bak.
On PCs used by many accounts, there is a [user].mdb file for each account.
Your Multi SA can deliberately make it impossible for operators to connect to a Multi db
when using MinAdmin. Your Multi SA may then elect to provide View Operators with a
computer file of the local database. The next procedure indicates how to make a local
database from a command line.
Run Admin once before using a command line to create a local multi database. If not,
an error results.
1. Check if View has run on the PC you are using. If you are unsure, run View and exit.
Using Windows, run a command line utility and enter: remadmin.exe "[name of
2.
user account]". Double-quotes are only needed for spaces or non-alphanumeric
characters, such as an apostrophe. This produces a [name of user
account].mdb file. See the examples, below.
