How to create a new repository in order to upload old data into IP.21 server
Solution
In order to bring old data from arc files into IP.21 server, please follow the next steps.
1. Locate the folder that contains all the data that wants to be uploaded into IP.21 server, see the image belows, this folder needs to have the arc files.
Make sure that the folder contains the corresponding arc files.
If the folder that contains the information for the repository is placed locally, it may or may not be shared through the “Shared Directory”. If the folder is not placed locally (on the IP.21 server), the folder is required to be shared through the “Shared Directory”). Permissions to access the repository folder need to include the administrator account, the same accoun that is used for the Aspen InfoPlus. 21 Task Service.
