# 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.
