Summary

In Laserfiche 7.0, using the Laserfiche Administration Console to register or unregister repositories would not detach the corresponding MSDE database. In Laserfiche 7.0.1 and later, registering or unregistering a Laserfiche repository automatically attaches or detaches the corresponding MSDE databases.

More Information

The Laserfiche Repository Registration wizard's automatic MSDE database attach/detach function has the following behavior:

• The MSDE database files must be located in the repository path.
• If there is only one main database .mdf file in the repository path, the registration wizard will attach that database even if the .mdf file name does not match the database name specified in the registration wizard.
• If there are multiple main database files in the repository path, the registration wizard will attach the .mdf file that matches the database name specified in the registration wizard. If none of the .mdf files match the specified database name, the registration wizard may attach the incorrect database.
• Expansion databases with the "_Data_x" suffix will be automatically attached.
• The MSDE server must be local to the Laserfiche Server.
• Unregistering a repository will not automatically detach the database if there are any current connections to the MSDE database.
