Convert Database to Legacy Database


On the Utilities menu, click Convert to Legacy Database to display the following interface.

Database to Convert From

Select the database that needs to be converted from the drop-down list, or browse for it using the Browse button.

New Database

Select this option to create an Isis database. Enter the file name, or you can select it from the drop-down list of all files in your working directory or you can browse to a location other than your working directory, in the latter two cases you are asked to confirm the overwriting of this database.

When a new database is created, the format will be as follows: <id>.<dsn>.Isis where <id> is the identifier and <dsn> is the design name. The design name must be three characters. Note that the identifier can be comprised of the project prefix with an optional additional identifier (<id> = <proj><odi>), as was the case in previous versions of Vulcan.

ODBC Link

Select this option to nominate an ODBC link database. Select the design name from the drop-down list.
