The
SDRDataTransfer v5.x Utility
is an advanced database management program that allows you to transfer data from one
PowerSDR
™ setup database to another. Certain data in the
PowerSDR
setup database should never be transferred to another database. In some cases, the decision as to whether it is safe to transfer the data or not can be determined by which table the data is stored in. However, a couple of the tables have a mixture of data that is safe to transfer and data that is not. Unfortunately, this includes some of the more popular custom settings that are rather tedious to re-enter by hand when moving to a new database. The
filter
settings are just one example.
SDRDataTransfer
decides which tables and which records within each table can be safely transferred based on information stored in a setup database, SDRDataTransfer.mdb. Optionally, v5.x allows you to select only certain types of settings to be transferred. For example, you could choose to transfer only your
filter
settings, or your
filter
settings &
VAC
settings.
Version 5.x of the
SDR
Data Transfer Utility allows the transfer of settings between both types of databases used by
PowerSDR
.
PowerSDR
v1.18.0 and earlier used a Microsoft Access database file named
PowerSDR
.mdb. Starting with v1.18.1,
PowerSDR
uses an XML file named database.xml to hold the setup data. SDRDataTransfer v2.x allows all 4 types of data transfer: .mdb -> .mdb, .xml -> .xml, .mdb -> .xml, & .xml -> .mdb.
As newer versions of
PowerSDR
are released, all that is necessary is to update the SDRDataTransfer.mdb file with the new data.
If
a new version of
PowerSDR
is released with new features,
SDRDataTransfer
will still work, but the settings for the new features will not be transferred until an updated version of the SDRDataTransfer.mdb file is installed.
This program replaces the
PowerSDR
1.x Database Transfer Utility which only transferred data between Microsoft Access databases.
NOTE: This program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1 which must be downloaded & installed separately. You may download the installation package directly from Microsoft or from this website. The file is about 237 Mb in size.
If
you already have
PowerSDR
v1.18.1 or later installed and working (or any other software that requires Version 3.5 of the .NET Framework) , then you do not have to download & install the .NET Framework again.
You can download the installation package and the user documentation from the Related Links listed below.
