How to move Promodag Reports onto a new console

Question:

What is the procedure to move your application onto a new console?

Answer:

The procedure to move Promodag Reports from a computer to another one is pretty straightforward:

1. On the first computer,

  • Save the content of the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Promodag\Reports\14\Batches and \Selections folders as well as the configuration file (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Promodag\Reports\14\Repex.pri) on a public share, or a USB key; if you use a local Access or LocalDB database, make a backup.
  • If you have a cloud-only or hybrid environment and use certificate-based authentication, save your certificate file (.prx extension). Its default location is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Promodag\Reports\.
  • Uninstall Promodag Reports and delete the existing scheduled tasks.

2. On the new computer,

  • Install the latest release of Promodag Reports;
  • Move the local database (if applicable) from the old computer to the new one in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Promodag\Reports\Databases;
  • Move the certificate file (if applicable) from the old computer to the new one in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Promodag\Reports\;
  • Move the Promodag\Reports\14\Batches and \Selections folders and the configuration file you copied from the old computer to the new one;
  • Start Promodag Reports;
  • Reconnect the SQL database or open the local database;
  • Recreate the scheduled tasks using the Tools > Task Automation option;
  • Go to File > Import Message Tracking Data and re-select your Exchange servers for data import. It will assign them to the new console.
  • Go to File > Import IIS Data and repeat that operation (if applicable);
  • Go to File > Import Storage Size Data and repeat that operation (if applicable).
