Anyone know how to combine multiple engineering databases from old flow installations?

Bill McEachern Jan 23, 2015 10:19 AM

Hello All,

anyone have any idea how to combine about 4 old user defined engineering databases? these are CHEMBASEUSER2.xml files. I don't really care about duplicates. I would just like to get them al into one database.

Is there some sort of xml editor that can do this? I tried looking in file via a test editor - they looked binary. Does one need to export them first or something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

Well I guess I will answer my own question.....after trying to load the files into an xml editor such as excel, and xml note pad - which just resulted in parse errors. I just did an import from the menu in the engineering database and loaded all the other files, one at a time, into the current engineering database. Easy peasy. I will now take that one CHEMBASEUSER2.xml file and put it some place and then load it into the new install.

  a lot more elegant than what I was going to suggest which was to add everything from the db into a study and then open switch files and then open that study, that would cause them to be imported
