Upgrading Aurora Ingest Software
Before upgrading from one version of Aurora Ingest to another, you should close all
components in the current Aurora Ingest application.
Aurora Ingest 6.3 installer provides an option to install Microsoft SQL Express 2005
or attaching your Aurora Ingest database to the full version of Microsoft SQL Server
2005. The full version of SQL Server 2005 allows customers to run the Aurora Ingest
- Server database component on the same server as the NewsShare DSM.
This means that both news database and ingest database will share the same SQL
processes. If you want to move your current Aurora Ingest database that runs on SQL
Express 2005 to your NewsShare DSM machine that runs the full version of SQL
Server 2005, refer to
“Migrating Aurora Ingest - Server” on page 22 .
