Misi, Thanks for your help on this. What I am trying to do is migrate from one production database to another. We have an existing prod server that has a broken installation. In order to install Asset Management we need to perform a re-install into a new prod. The new installed db has additional records in it that I do not want to be deleted when I migrate the data. Here is an outline of what I am trying to do:
1. Take OLD PROD backup. Users still active. 2. rrrchive using COPY from OLD PROD backup 1 --> NEW PROD (this is actually several steps breaking down into config vs data, takes a few hours) 3. Take another OLD PROD backup. OLD PROD put into Admin only mode. 4. rrrchive using SYNCTOTARGET from OLD PROD backup 2 --> NEW PROD (to migrate only updated records) The goal of the last step is to capture data changes since the first backup. This would require a production outage, but the down time will be much smaller than if we were to copy all of the data. I cannot just restore the old prod db to new prod because I am fixing the install including workflow. This is the best solution I have come up with. Any thoughts? Again, thanks for your help.
