SIM 5.1 to 5.3 and DB Problems

[Michael F. Pacheco]

Hi,

I have SIM 5.1 running on SQL2000 Standard, SIM 5.3 will not upgrade on anything less then SQL2005 (Express or Standard). Is there an upgrade path document out there on moving my data from SQL2000 to 2005 so I don't have to rekey every server and re-enter every server I already have in SIM 5.1?

TIA ... Mike

Thanks for the reply - but I don't see anything about exporting out of a SQL2000 db , and importing into SQL2005 in any of these docs.

I find it amazing that HP does not have a clear migration and upgrade path for this product.

My problem is that I only have one server for SIM, I can't move to a different server, I need someway to upgrade in place without loosing data or having to rekey all of my servers.
