Attaching IEC Database

This procedure applies only to previously installed EC Database. You must check the EC database version before you attach an EC database.

Use these guidelines to attach EC Database:

If you are installing the EC application for the first time, you must install the corresponding EC database, see Installing IEC Database
If you are using the classic version of EC and need to upgrade to a version that runs in Grid, you must first attach the classic EC database, then upgrade the database in LCM.

Use the database set up in the new EC application in grid. Then, run Republish All and (Re)activate mapping in the same way as you would apply a CCSS fix.

Use this procedure to attach EC Database:

In the LCM Applications tab, select and expand the view of Microsoft SQL Server where your <EC MSSQL instance> is installed.
Right-click <MSSQL instance> where you need to attach your EC DB.
Select <MSSQL instance> > Infor Enterprise Collaborator <version> > Attach MEC Database > MEC<version>.

The EC Database server information window is displayed.
Specify the admin user and password to access the database server.
Click Next.

The EC Database server information window is displayed.
In the Database name list, select the EC Database that you want to attach.
Specify the EC database user and password to access the database server.

The view shows the Database Version to attach.
Click Next.

The Summary window is displayed. Review and verify the completeness of the information such as Admin user, Database name, EC database user, and the database version to attach.
Click Finish to complete the installation.

When the task is finished, a message is displayed.
Click OK.
Optionally, access the log view to show the installation details.
