Migrating the Ground Link Proxy Database to Microsoft SQL Server

Before you begin, make sure that

your Ground Link proxy uses the Firebird database engine.
you have a Microsoft SQL Server connection.
you have backed up the Ground Link proxy.

You can migrate your Ground Link proxy database from Firebird to Microsoft SQL Server via M-Files Admin.

To migrate the Ground Link proxy database to Microsoft SQL Server:

Open M-Files Admin.
In the left-side tree view, expand a connection to M-Files Server.
In the left-side tree view, expand Ground Link Proxies.
In the left-side tree view, right-click a Ground Link proxy and select Operations > Migrate to Microsoft SQL Server... from the context menu.
Result:The Ground Link Proxy - Microsoft SQL Server dialog is opened.
In Server name, enter the connection address to your Microsoft SQL Server, such as mysqlserver.mydomain.local.
In Database name, enter a name for the Ground Link proxy database.
We recommend to use the same name as the Ground Link proxy has on M-Files Server.
In the Administrator credentials and Basic user credentials sections, enter the credentials. For instructions, refer to this table.
Optional: Click Test Connection to test the connection to your Microsoft SQL Server.
Click OK.
Result:A warning dialog is opened to tell you that the operation cannot be undone.
Click Yes to close the warning dialog and start the migration.

Your Ground Link proxy now uses the Microsoft SQL Server database engine. The database of your Ground Link proxy is on the specified Microsoft SQL Server.
