Database Seeding

Database seeding is a mechanism to use a pre-populated or an existing database with the app. A seeded database saves time required to sync data between the Server and the mobile device.

Database Location

For database seeding, you must export the intelatrac.zip file that contains the database, to your device. To know how to export the database, see the section 'Local Database' in the topic Local - iOS. Use the File Sharing section on Apple iTunes to transfer files to and from AVEVA Mobile Operator app. For more information, refer to the User Manual of the iOS device.

Note: Make sure you are using the latest version of Apple iTunes.

To use a seeded database

1. Copy the database to be seeded to the iOS device using iTunes. For more information, refer to the User Manual of the iOS device.

   Note: Make sure that the authenticated user is a part of the seeded database.

2. Authenticate the user.

3. Configure the device in the Device screen.

4. Enter the Sync Server details in the Sync Server screen.

   If you have a database to seed, then on tapping Continue or Skip button, the Seed Database screen appears.

5. Enter the password to seed the database. You must enter the same password that you had provided when exporting the database.

   The database is seeded, and you will be logged in to the app successfully.

   Note:
   - You cannot seed an unsupported database. Seeding is only possible with the database of same version.
   - To clear the data stored by the app including files and settings, see the section 'Clearing App Data' in the Initial Setup topic.
