Can you transfer citadel info from 1 computer w/ Lookout4.5 to another w/ LO5.1?

[CasSch]

I am in the process of transfering a Lookout 4.5 program from one server to another on a different computer (running Lookout 5.1). I tried coping the folder where my database is stored to the new computer, but I am still unable to pull up trends from previous days when it was operating on the old computer. What can I do so that the new program can access trends from the old computer?

What are you using to display the trends? I am guessing that you are displaying it in Lookout using Hypertrend. Is this correct? If so part of what is logged to the database is the computer name, so hypertrend is not seeing the old data as being the same as the old because the computer name is different. You can try to view the data in MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) using the Historical Data Viewer.
