Copy files from the server to the offline client manually

Note:
Instead of manually copying the .mdb files, you can set up a job to automatically copy the .mdb files from the server to all the designated offline workstations. See Enable automatic copying of .mdb files from the server to offline clients.

To copy files from the Polaris server to the offline client manually:

Note:
The Offline Extract Job runs automatically each night, but if you are copying the offline Polaris files from the server at a time other than at the beginning of the day, manually run the SQL Server task, Offline Extract job. See Manually update the offline files.

Select the following files in the ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\Offline folder on your library’s server:

PolPatron.mdb
PolSystem.mdb

Copy the files to one of the following folders in the offline client:

If no datalink is used: Local drive:\ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\offline. This folder is created by default when the staff client is installed. If you are using multiple offline clients, you must copy the .mdb files to each offline client.
If a datalink is used:Local drive:\ProgramData\Polaris\[version]\datalink\offline

Note:
Administrators can override the default location with a registry entry, and create a convenient location in a common area such as a network share. First create a Polaris or UDL instance (if there is one) folder at that location. However, do not include the new folder in the registry entry, because it is automatically appended. The registry entry should consist of network path\offline.
