Move the Master Database

The Knowledge Vault Master is moved by relocating the corresponding mdf, LDF files from their existing location to another location on the same computer.

The default path for the database files for KVM is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.AUTODESKVAULT\MSSQL\DATA.

Note: The User under which SQL service is running must have Full Control for the location to which the database is being moved.

Select Tools >Move Master Vault.
On the Move Database Files dialog browse to the new location for the Data file (mdf) and Log file (LDF).

Note: Note: MS SQL requires that the new location be on the same computer as the current location for the Knowledge Vault Master database.
Click OK on the browse dialog.
Click OK on Move Database Files dialog.
Select Yes on the prompt to proceed with the Move operation.

Note: It is not necessary that both mdf and LDF of the Knowledge Vault Master be at the same location.
