After upgrading to ADMS2009, run the ADMS Console. You should see the R11
standard content libraries, your user libraries in the R11 partition, the
2009 standard content libraries (assuming you installed them), and your user
libraries in the 2009 partition. None of them should require migration (if
any do, right click on them and migrate them). You can see what partition a
given library is in by clicking on it in the tree - the the right pane has a
bunch of details about the library including the partition. If any of your
user libraries are not in the 2009 partition, right click on the R11 user
library and copy it to the 2009 partition.
At this point, once the "Client Upgrade for R11 SP4 to Access ADMS 2009" is
applied to Inventor 11, it should function like it did before.
To make Inventor 2009 work with your user libraries that you just put in the
2009 partition, they need to be updated by Inventor. We called this "update"
instead of "migration" so it would not be confused with the database
migration that happened in the ADMS Console. In Inventor go into the project
editor and press the configure content center libraries button on the lower
right. If you see any libraries in red, then they cannot be found on the
server. For missing standard content libraries you will need to install them
from the Inventor 2009 media, for user libraries you will need to copy them
to the 2009 partition. Once none of them are missing, you will see that your
user libraries need to be updated (they have a lightning bolt icon). Just
press the update button to start the process. If you made any changes to the
project you will need to back out and save the project first.
The update process will re-apply any edits you made to the new standard
content, and migrate the templates of any custom families. This process can
take a while.
For anyone still using MSDE or SQL 2000, there is hotfix to ADMS 2009 that
needs to be applied before starting the Inventor update. There was a problem
with our database migration to ADMS 2009 if it was done while on MSDE or SQL
2000; where the update would actually corrupt the library! In this
particular case, you were already using SQL Express (2005) so it's a
non-issue.
Hope this helps,
