mrDump

NOTE

Use of these commands is not recommended as they are no longer officially supported and may not work as intended.

Description

Dump a Workspace's data into an ASCII format.  mrDump is used with mrRestore to restore this data into another empty Workspace later.

Syntax (following correct mrFile)

mrDump

Example

mrDump

This dumps the ticket data into MASTER.dmp, the time tracking data into TIME.dmp, and the Address Book data into ABMASTER.dmp. This data is readable in ASCII, but also restorable by mrRestore.

Note

Since these programs (mrDump and mrRestore) work in ASCII, they can be useful in converting between different FootPrintsdatabases. You could mrDumpFootPrints data from Access and mrRestore an empty SQL Workspace. The mrXMLConversion.pl script can be used instead of mrRestore to restore a series of Workspaces correctly.  If you need to use the mrXMLConversion.pl script or the mrRestore function, contact Numara Software Support.
