When ECMap updates database structures, it first moves the data in the map’s original database structure to a temporary area. Next, it replaces the original database structures with the new ones. Then, it takes the data from the temporary area and puts it into the new structure. Finally, it clears the temporary area.
This following procedure describes the steps you take to start the update process.
Updating the database structure
In ECMap’s main window, select Utilities > Update Database Structures.
The program begins updating your database, which you can see if you closely watch the status bar.
When finished, a window opens that reads “The Database Update has Completed.”
Click OK to close the window and return to ECMap’s main window.
The databases associated with the current map have been updated, and the map can now run with the new software.
