1Stop the Collection Service.

2Use the following steps to move the database:

a)Detach from the source SQL Server instance.

b)Copy the database to the target SQL Server instance.

c)Attach the database in the target SQL Server instance.

3Update the CollectionService.exe.config file, usually located at c:\Program Files (x86)\\Metalogix Diagnostic Manager\CollectionService\. The value RepositoryHost specifies the name of the SQL Server instance hosting the repository.

4Restart the Collection Service.
