Exporting the Data
- Shut down ListManager.
- Verify that you have plenty of disk space on your ListManager machine, which is where the export file will be created.
- Execute “lm exporttofile <exportfile>” where <exportfile> is the name of resulting export file.
- Example: lm exporttofile lmdb.exp
- Under unix/linux, perform this command in <listmanager>/bin.
- Under Windows, perform this command in C:\Program Files\List Manager (or wherever you installed ListManager)
After the Export
- Check for any errors that may have occurred during EXPORT by reviewing the most recent LM log (ex: log#.txt)
NOTE Export will NOT export empty tables but Import will create all ListManager (and Billing if that is required) tables, so if you see messages such as
20080909 153514, 0, 16777216, 16384, "SqlImportExport.cpp, line:550", "0 rows in table lyrCustomerPiperPlans - skipping export for this table."^A^B^C
don’t be alarmed. That table will be generated by Import and since there was no data to begin with, that is all that is necessary.
