Changing the Default Name of a Shared Database

Introduction

This topic discusses the shared databases that are created when you install a Financial Analyzer workstation and provides the default names given to each database.

Shared databases and their default names

When you install Financial Analyzer, a set of databases with the following default names is installed in the SHARED directory:

• ofas.db

• ofastask.db

• ofasctl.db

• ofaslck.db

In some circumstances you may wish to change the name of these databases. You can rename all or any number of them.

Moving a Shared Database from Its Default Location

The set of shared databases discussed previously is installed by default into the SHARED directory. Under some circumstances you may want to move some of these files into different directory locations.
