Best practice to combine Lookout 6.5 database files?

[dmorgan781]

I have a years worth of Lookout 6.5 database log files that need to be combined with new ones being created. What is the procedure to make this happen and the old data available for reports?

You need to use the Archiving feature.

Create a new database

Attach old databases.

Archive old databases into new database

Now it is a single database.

Now, keep in mind if you have changed machine/process names you will have more work todo.

Appreciate the step response. Can you refer to the Lookout procedure perhaps in the manual how to properly accomplish the suggested steps? Thanks in advance.
