Change IDE database

Post by atostaine »

I have a new installation of V14SP2 on a new laptop. I have the .MDF and .LDF files from the old laptop. I'd like to temporarily point my IDE to the other DB so that I can quick export a few missing components (they weren't checked in to repository on IBM i)

I changed my ODBC source default database to the restored one but I don't see all of my components that are in there (Verified by running Query on LX_FRD)

Both systems are V14sp2 with matching EPC's.

Where can I find the setting to use the other DB? Thank you.

My ODBC data source originally pointed to default database A4DDS. I changed it to V14SP2. To make sure it was using new database, I renamed A4DDS to A4DDS_X.

IDE won't start, there must be another setting somewhere.

I did another install of LANSA and pointed it to the existing database from my old laptop. I can quick export what I need.
