Hello Bryant,
You can simply reinstall the Data Migration Framework. Setup will give you
the option to drop and recreate your CDF database.
If you have any valuable data in your current CDF database, you may want to
consider the following steps:
- rename the current CDF database. Use the SQL Query Analyzer to run
"sp_renamedb". You can type "sp_helptext sp_renamedb" in order to display
syntax information.
- reinstall the Data Migration Framework, which will create a new, blank
CDF database.
- use the SQL Import/Export wizard in order to transfer data from your
old (renamed) CDF database to the new one.
- run the CDF Initialization tool.
Regards,
