Separate databases
Riverbird requires existing customers who have previously used c-entron and the RMM system on the same SQL database require a mandatory separation of the databases. The reason for this is that future updates to the RMM installation can only be reliably performed on a standalone Riverbird database.
These instructions are intended for administrators and system integration partners who wish to perform the separation themselves. For more complex environments or if you have any questions, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our technical consulting team.
