RLM 3.1 offers many new features compared to previous versions. For this reason, its data structure is different. To use your RLM 3.0 data in RLM 3.1, data conversion is required. This process happens automatically when installing RLM 3.1 on a computer where RLM 3.0 was previously uninstalled. However, in cases where it is necessary to restore an RLM 3.0 backup in RLM 3.1 or if the computer where RLM 3.1 will be installed is different from the one that had RLM 3.0, this topic explains how to proceed.

Attention: Read carefully and follow the procedures step by step.

Requirements

To convert data from RLM 3.0 to RLM 3.1, you need:

To have a backup of RLM 3.0 data
To have RLM 3.1 installed on the computer

1 - Prepare the Files

Open the folder DB.

The installation folder varies depending on the Windows version and language and may also have been installed in a user-defined folder. Examples of possible locations:

C:Program FilesIntegra SoftwareRLM 3DB
D:Program FilesIntegra SoftwareRLM 3DB
In this folder, you should find several files, including RLM.GDB and Rlm31Limpo.gdb:

a) Rename the file RLM.GDB to any other name.

b) Copy the file RLM31Limpo.gdb to the same folder, renaming it to RLM.GDB.

c) Copy the backup file from RLM 3.0 to the same folder, renaming it to RLM30_origem.gdb.

2 - Convert the Data

a) Move up one folder level, from DB to . Then open the Bin folder. The resulting folder will be Bin, as shown in the image below:

b) Double-click the ConvRLM31.exe application. The following window will appear:

c) Fill in the Source Database field with the RLM30_origem.GDB file from the DB folder. Use the folder icon to the right of the field to open an Explorer window to help select the file.

d) Fill in the Destination Database field with the RLM.GDB file from the DB folder, following the same method as for the previous field. Remember: the RLM.GDB file must be a copy of the RLM31Limpo.GDB file, which was renamed as explained in Step 1.

e) Enable the Generate Log option.

f) Click the Convert button.

The data conversion process will begin. The Convert button will be disabled.

Depending on the volume of data being converted and the computer’s processing power, this process may take some time. Please wait until it is completed.

Once completed, the Convert button will be enabled again. Do not click it again!

If an error occurs during the conversion process, select and copy the text from the Log box and send it to Technical Support.

Click the Exit button to close the program.

Done! If everything went well, your data should have been successfully converted, and RLM 3.1 will be ready to use.

RLM 3.1 does not come with a built-in backup mechanism, so users must manually create backup copies of their data. Below is how to create a backup.

1 - Ensure that the RLM 3.1 program is closed

The data file should only be copied when it is not in use.

2 - Copy the database file to a safe location

All user information, such as clients, diets, foods, and nutrients, is stored in a single database file. The file to be copied is RLM.GDB. This file is located in the database folder.

The database folder varies depending on the Windows version and language, installation options, and RLM version. Locate the file using the following order:

RLM 3DB
Integra SoftwareRLM 3DB
C:Program FilesIntegra SoftwareRLM 3DB
C:Users[User Name]AppDataRoamingIntegra SoftwareRLM 3DB
A safe location could be another disk, a dedicated backup drive, a CD-RW, or a USB flash drive.

Attention: Check if the file’s modification date and time match the last time the program was used.

This procedure is for data restoration when both the source and destination data are from RLM 3.1. If the source is RLM 3.0 and the destination is RLM 3.1, data conversion will be necessary.

By replacing a single file, you can transfer all your RLM 3.1 data from one computer to another or recover lost data. Follow the steps below:

1 - Obtain the Source Data

First, you need to have the source data, which can be obtained from a backup. The file to be used is RLM.GDB.

2 - Replace the File on the Destination Computer

Copy the RLM.GDB file from the backup to the database folder, replacing the previous version.

The database folder varies depending on the Windows version and language, installation options, and the RLM version. Locate the folder using the following order:
