Detach the Master Database

KnowledgeVaultMaster is the master database for the Autodesk data management server. Similar to SQL's master database, KnowledgeVaultMaster is a separate database containing common global administrative and configuration information for all of the vault and library databases on the Autodesk data management server

Detaching KnowledgeVaultMaster disconnects it from the server so it can be moved to another location on the disk or to another server altogether.

You must detach all other databases before detaching the KnowledgeVaultMaster vault.

  1. Verify that all users are logged out of the vault server before detaching a vault.
  2. Click Tools  Detach Master Vault.
  3. Click Yes to confirm your actions.

The vault and its log file are detached.

After the vault is detached, you can move the two corresponding files to any drive or partition on the same computer. The names of the files for the master vault are:

Note: These files must exist as a pair and cannot be renamed. The default location for these files is in the Data directory in the Microsoft SQL Server installation folder.
