Talsim 5 uses the SQLite database format to store datasets. Older Talsim 4 databases, which use the Microsoft Access format, can be converted to the Talsim 5 format using the TalsimNG4To5 Migration Tool.
This tool converts all datasets (scenarios) contained in a Talsim 4 database to the Talsim 5 format. The conversion process may take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, if you only need to convert specific scenarios, it is advisable to delete any unnecessary scenarios from the Talsim 4 database before starting the conversion. (Be sure to create a backup first.)
Steps to perform the conversion:
1.Start the migration tool, then select the Talsim 4 database (*_data.mdb) you want to convert.
2.Optional: Enable the Copy simulation results option. If activated, the tool will attempt to copy and convert any existing simulation results (*.wlzip files) to the selected target directory.
3.Select a target directory for the conversion. This is where the converted Talsim 5 database (*.db)—and, if applicable, the converted simulation results—will be saved.
4.Click the Migrate button and wait for the process to complete.
Once the migration is finished, you can open the converted database in Talsim 5.
