SME v1.6 Enterprise Local Server Installation Guide Updating Novell NetWare Servers to SME v1.6 175
Backing Up the Existing Database Folder
Pearson Digital Learning recommends that you make a backup copy of your
database and log file, and save them to another location (other than where
your current SuccessMaker Enterprise installation resides) before you
update to SuccessMaker Enterprise v1.6.
Note: Be sure that you perform the live backup of the SuccessMaker
Enterprise database before or after students are actively using the system. If
students are logging on or logging off during the live backup process, the
database could be adversely affected.
From a Windows workstation that is configured to run SuccessMaker
Enterprise, complete the following steps:
1. Create a folder where you want to save the backup files. You can
create the folder on any local or network drive. For example, you
can create the folder C:\Backup\SMEDatabase.
2. On your taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type the following command line in the Run dialog box:
Driveletter:\ResultsManager\SuccessMaker\Livebackup\
Livebackup X Y
In the command line:
Driveletter is the drive where the SuccessMaker Enterprise system
is installed.
X is the ODBC data source name of your SuccessMaker Enterprise
database. SME is the default.
Y is the path name of the folder you created.
The following is an example of a complete command line:
T:\ResultsManager\SuccessMaker\Livebackup\Livebackup
SME C:\Backup\SMEDatabase
If you are updating from SuccessMaker Enterprise 1.2, you must now install
the EBF patch on your server. Go to the next section.
If you are not updating from SuccessMaker Enterprise 1.2, go to “Stopping
the Sybase Database NLM” on page 177.
