Upgrade RMS 1.2 or Sql?

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi I Have a couple of questions. I have a client who has reached the 2gb limit and needs to upgrade. My database size was 2000mb Space avaible 0mb and Usage 100%. i was getting Could not allocate space for object journal in database. primary filegroup is full. I  deleted some journals for now using DELETE FROM journal WHERE time < GETDATE() - (365 * 3). and also shrunk database. Now the Database size is  948mb, space available 179mb and usage 81%. This does not make sense I have halved the database size but still the usage is 81% and space available is only 179mb. so my first question is

1. is this normal and will I get another few years out of the setup i have now as the database size has halved or does it go by the Usage?

2. Is the limitation of the 2gb rule down to sql 2000 or is it RMS 1.2.

3. Can I upgrade Sql 2000 and leave RMS 1.2 in place.

4. Can I upgrade from Rms 1.2 to Rms 2.0

5. The client POS stations are running windows 2000 will this be a problem

6.Should i be looking at POS 2009 or Rms 2.0

    Thanks for that helps a lot.

    1.Im going to update the sql to 2005. Is it a straight forward process?

    2.If im reading you right I dont need to update the 2 till computers with sql. Just the main server pc.

    3. Is the RMS 2.0 upgrade a free update?

    1. Don't worry about the allocated space available, it's the 2gb maximum size that's the problem.

    2. The 2gb limit is because of sql2000 msde.  2005 allows 4gb and 2008 up to 8gb.

    3. Yes, you can store the database on any sql server version.

    4. Yes you can and should upgrade to the latest RMS version you have available.

    5. RMS connected devices can work on various sql and windows versions, but all have to be the same release of the RMS version with the same service pack applied.

    6. POS2009 is generally the upgrade to the single store POS while RMS2.0 is the multi store headquarters product.  Refer to your MS licensed partner for full details.
