Database Management
The following is highly recommended to be done only by experienced PC users.
All Database related data are stored in database folders named Db# (Db1, Db2, ...). These folders are
located in the folder "CAT_Destination_Folder"\Data (CAT_Destination_Folder is the folder that have
been chosen when installing CAT).
Db# in brackets is written in the title bar behind the name given to the database (when a database has
been chosen in the session).
Use the standard file managing programs (like Explorer or File Manager) to copy, rename or even
delete these folders.
Copy databases from one platform to another
- Copy always the complete Db# folder.
Tip: Directly after copying, before pasting the folder into the target platform, it is recommended to
rename it. Do not use any Db# as name but e.g. user initials and date. Then paste it into the folder \Data
of the target system and may keep an additional backup.
- Check the target platform for an unused Db# name and rename your folder into this unused Db# name.
Now there is access to this database independent from the session that might be open or being created.
