8. Activate the database:
a. In the Interplay Administrator, click Manage Databases.
b. In the “Database (.pro) file to activate” text box, type the full UNC path to the .pro file,
which now resides on the Interplay Engine server. For example:
\\IEServer\WG_Database$\AvidWG\AvidWG.pro.
c. Make sure “Load Database on Activation” is selected, and click Activate.
If the database is activated, its name is displayed in the Databases list. The database is
automatically unlocked.
9. Check the backup location in the Schedule Backups view of the Interplay Administrator.
If the _Backup folder was located on shared storage, it is now located on the Interplay
Engine. If necessary, change the location to the Interplay Engine or to another external file
server.
10. In the Server Settings view of the Interplay Administrator, make sure the path for the “Root
folder for data” matches the path for the “Root folder for database.”
This location is used if you create a new database.
11. Test the setup by doing the following:
a. Open one Interplay Access client.
b. Connect to the database and import a new file asset.
c. Lock and unlock the database.
d. After reconnecting to the database with Interplay Access, check if the file is still in the
database.
12. If the test is successful, delete or rename the folder
\\SharedStorageServer\WorkspaceName\AvidWG.
