Merging databases

You can merge two databases together, if required. There are three available options on what to do when EMCO Network Inventory encounters the data with the same identification:

• Skip On Collision - Do not merge that particular record from the selected database into the current database.

• Merge using TimeStamp - Merge that particular record but assign it it's own time stamp information.

• Overwrite Existing - Overwrite the existing record in the current database with the record from the selected database.

You can also merge databases from RemoteAudit 2.0 (an older version of the EMCO Network Inventory application). There are no options available on how to handle RemoteAudit 2.0 data with the same identification.

To merge a database:

1. Click on the File > Merge > From Database or File > Merge > From RemoteAudit 2.0 menu option.

2. If you are merging a EMCO Network Inventory database, click on the required database from the drop-down list, click on the required radio button to handle identical data, and click on the button.

   

   If you are merging a RemoteAudit 2.0 database, locate required database and click on the button.

3. The two databases have now been merged and the data is displayed in the LAN tree.
