https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/migrating-sim-on-msde-to-sql-2005-standard/m-p/3901427#M24081 Hello All,<BR />I’m somewhat new to HP SIM 5 so please bear with me...<BR />My question has to do with the details involved in migrating from a MSDE install to platform where SQL 2005 (standard) is the backend.<BR />I've seen the document "Moving HP SIM 5.0 to a new Windows system" which addresses a SQL 2000 backend. This document is found at:<BR /><A href="http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/misc/hpsim-helpfiles/hpsim_5_migratingNewSystem.pdf" target="_blank">http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/misc/hpsim-helpfiles/hpsim_5_migratingNewSystem.pdf</A><BR />Not being a SQL DBA and given the dramatic differences between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 I'm having some problems completing the migration. I need to know if there is an updated version of the above document that is directed at the UI found in SQL 2005? I've tried an initial migration of our MSDE data with mixed results. Having correctly updated documentation on this would be a great help.<BR /><BR />PS. I do have a DBA in house and have overcame the confusion in connecting to a DB on SQL 2005 (just point the SIM installer to the Master DB and let it create the SIM DB). My issues are more with the instructions and how they apply to SQL 2005.<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance<BR /><BR />Andrew<BR /> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 15:09:18 GMT Andrew Nicholson_1 2006-11-20T15:09:18Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/migrating-sim-on-msde-to-sql-2005-standard/m-p/3901427#M24081 Hello All,<BR />I’m somewhat new to HP SIM 5 so please bear with me...<BR />My question has to do with the details involved in migrating from a MSDE install to platform where SQL 2005 (standard) is the backend.<BR />I've seen the document "Moving HP SIM 5.0 to a new Windows system" which addresses a SQL 2000 backend.
