Recreating A WEAR Location

Overview

This page deals with what needs to be done to recreate a WEAR location that has already been created and in use for a period of time. This page is for normal operations where the remote database has exported its information back to head office before the recreation is done. If the remote database information is not able to be exported back to head office, that information will be lost.

This page is not a step by step guide on creating replication locations. It is specifically to cover the additional parts for recreating a location.

Clear The Location

  • Open the polling application on the head office server.
  • Go to Setup…

  • System Five gives a warning that this should not be done as it will invalidate any existing database for that location. This must be answered Yes

  • Follow the prompts using the Next button to complete the process
In System Five version 6.0.0 and later each location must have its own licence file installed. Do not forget to do this before trying to use the newly created database.
Make sure the incoming and outgoing batch numbers are checked in the newly created database against the head site numbers. Make sure all the batch numbers match by resetting the remote location numbers before trying to sync the databases.
