Upgrade a Vault Site Server to a Connected Workgroup Subscriber

The purpose of this procedure is to describe how to upgrade a Vault Site Server, currently a member of an established Workgroup, to a Connected Workgroup Subscriber.

Example Scenario

This pictures shows one Workgroup for simplification purposes. However it could be possible to already have multiple Workgroups configured.

Current State: Workgroup A consists of a Publisher and two sites.

End State: Two Workgroups, Workgroup A is the Publisher, Workgroup B is a Subscriber

1. On the site that is to be upgraded to be an SQL Subscriber, copy or backup the filestore.
2. On a different site in Workgroup A delete the site in the ADMS Console.
3. On the site being upgraded, install SQL Server according to the instructions in the Advanced Configuration Guide.
   Note: SQL can be installed on the same machine as Vault Server or on a separate machine.
4. On the Publisher, add a Workgroup pointing to the newly installed SQL Server (Workgroup B).
5. After Replication has completed, modify the following line in the web.config file on the Vault Server in the new workgroup (Workgroup B).
   • If the SQL Server is on a separate machine:

     <server value="servername\AutodeskVault" />

   • If the SQL Server is installed on the same machine.

     <server value=".\AutodeskVault" />

6. On the Vault Server in the new workgroup (Workgroup B), launch the ADMS Console.
