4.4 Integrate the RPS Database Files into the SQL Database
4.4.1 Automatic Integration
In Versions 5.11 and lower, RPS uses a network drive to share database files (.dat files)
among all of the RPS computers. In Versions 5.12 and later, RPS integrates the .dat files into
the SQL database. The SQL database is then installed locally on the same computer that RPS
is installed on, or it is installed on a network that all of the RPS computers can access.
During a new installation of RPS 5.12 or later, or when upgrading to RPS 5.12 or later, the
RPS .dat files are automatically integrated into the SQL database.
4.4.2 Manual Integration
If the integration of the RPS .dat files into the SQL database fails (for example, a network
failure occurs), then the RPS .dat files must be manually integrated into the SQL database.
To manually integrate the RPS .dat files into the SQL database:
1. Start RPS.
2. Select Config>System>File Locations.
The File Locations tab opens.
3. Click Upgrade Database.
All existing RPS .dat files are copied from their current location to the new SQL database
location.
