ACT Database Migration (Windows 10) The schema for an ACT database can change when ACT is updated or when a new version of ACT is released. b13369b4-1fb7-4889-b0b8-6d0ab61aac3d w10 plan appcompat library TrudyHa

ACT Database Migration

Applies to

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 7
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows Server 2008 R2

The schema for an ACT database can change when ACT is updated or when a new version of ACT is released. If the schema for an ACT database does not match the current schema, you can migrate the compatibility data to a new database. You can then use the current version of ACT to open the new database.

To create the new database, you must have database-creation permissions on the instance of SQL Server.

Migrating Compatibility Data from an ACT Database

You can migrate compatibility data from an ACT database to a new database by using one of the following methods:

  • Run Application Compatibility Manager (ACM), and then use the ACT Configuration Wizard to open the database. The wizard guides you through migrating the compatibility data to a new database.

  • Run the MigrateDB.sql file, located at %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Application Compatibility Toolkit\MigrateDB.sql.. The following table shows the location of the MigrateDB.sql file.

Database Migration from ACT 5.6

When you migrate compatibility data from an ACT 5.6 database to a new database, the following information is excluded from the migration:

  • Issues that were reported by ACT 5.6 data-collection packages (DCPs).

  • Solutions that correspond to issues reported by ACT 5.6 DCPs.

  • Lists of file names that ACT 5.6 associated with each application.

You cannot migrate any compatibility data from ACT databases that were created on a version of ACT before ACT 5.6.
