The application will extract the archived file. If a database with the same name exists the
user will be prompted with the following.
Figure 79.
Confirm file overwrite.
Overwrite the existing database by choosing Yes or Yes to All, or choose Cancel if the database
should not be overwritten. If the archived database is still needed, rename the existing
database through Windows Explorer then restore again, or restore using another folder that
does not contain the same named database.
When the archived database is extracted, the software will return to the Baker AWA-IV
application’s main screen. Choose
File

Open
menu item to open the newly-restored
database.
Converting an older database
As of version 4, the Baker AWA-IV software uses a different database structure than prior
versions. The test results data are arranged differently, the database keys are different, and
several tables have been combined or added in addition to many other improvements. One
of the major changes is that the surge data is no longer stored in a separate set of files in a
Srg folder; all surge waveform data is now stored in the database.
Care needs to be taken when upgrading to this new version of the database. After
installation of the new software, the old databases along with the old Baker AWA-IV software
executable will still be on the Baker AWA-IV.
Here are a few suggestions for making the change to the Version 4+ database:
1) Make a backup copy of all old databases. Use WinZip, an older standalone version of
the Data Transfer archive feature, or simply use Windows® Explorer® to make a
copy.
2) Install the new Baker AWA-IV Version 4+ software.
3) Convert all old databases to the new version by opening each of the old databases
with the new Version 4+ software.
4) Verify data has been correctly converted in the new databases. The old software
and the old databases will still be on the machine in addition to the new versions.
5) When you are confident that the data is correct, remove the old databases and the
old executable from the Baker AWA-IV to avoid confusion as to what version to use.
The older version of the product can be found in the
C:\AWA
folder with the name
AWA.exe
. The new Baker AWA-IV is in the same folder; however, the version 4+
executable is named
Baker AWAIV.exe
. To remove the old software, delete the
AWA.exe
and all short cuts to it. The old data is in the
C:\AWA
Data
folder. After
saving data to an archived folder the AWA
Data
folder can be deleted. As always, it
is advisable to keep an archived copy.
If data resides on a network or desktop(s), make sure that all databases, not just those stored
on the Baker AWA-IV, have been upgraded. This will ensure the old databases do not get
inadvertently used for new testing.
