  • Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
  • Register a new SQL server (Zeus)
  • Check backups (On Zeus E:\ Drive E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Backup\) This is where ALL SQL Databses are backed up to.


  • Browse the above directory to check the last backup. Note the filename down.
  • Right click on R32.lmstest Databse in the console, Right Click - All Tasks - Restore Database
  • Select "Restore from Device" and select the backed up file you require (Filename already noted down)
  • When back at the Restore Window, edit the physical path of the database file and the physical path of the log file.


Important

the Physical path needs to be :

Makesure that it will overwrite the TEST DATABASE not r32lms!

r32_lmstest r32_lmstest.log

E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Servers\MSSQL\Data

Force Restore needs to be selected.

--

Make sure nobody is using test db!

Things that need to be changed in Resource:

  • in Maintenance / IQ Param / change to LMS-TESTiq or it will report on the live database and not the test, also change the short company name to include ***TEST***. This is in System Control, Licensing, Short Company Name



AFTER ANY UPGRADE CHECK THAT THE BROMCOM OUTPUTS THE "LMSCODE" NOT "Tutor Code"
