RMS200124: How to guide: Execution of SQL queries for data extraction from the RMS database

The intention of this guide is to give instructions on how to extract specific data from the RMS database. In most cases this is necessary to provide system information for Raynet support representatives you contacted due to a current issue. Please follow the step-by-step description to make sure the extracted set of data is suitable for this purpose.

It is most likely that you received an SQL query script from the support team or downloaded such a file from the RMS knowledge base. Within this guide the script you will use is referred to as DataExtractionQuery.

 

  1. Copy the DataExtractionQueryscript to your RMS data server.
    Depending on your RMS system architecture, this can be the administration server, or a separate data server.

  2. Open the DataExtractionQuery file.

    If it does not, make sure you copied the DataExtractionQuery to your RMS data server.

  4. Connect to your RMS database ManageSoft.
