Continued from TipTracer Introduction...
How to Transfer Data using the TipTracer™ Import function:There may be times when you will need to transfer all data for one cube to another. This task is primarily needed if you own the Copyable version of the Techno Tip Cube and one of two situations occur:
The Techno Tip Cube's function is accessible via the | buttons. (Note that your assistant operators -- if you have that feature configured -- are not permitted access to any Admin functions.).After you rez your Techno Tip Cube, the TipTracer system for that cube is off by default. So you'll have to re-register it (click | | , Confirm Registration, then debit permissions). Once the cube is re-registered you can now import data from the old UUID-identified cube. To do this, click | | . The server will respond with a list of all your jars that are registered with TipTracer, including those in limbo (i.e., those that are no longer pinging but have not yet been deleted).An example would work nicely here. Here, you will assume the role of "Joe Avatar"... Let's say you have a copyable tip cube named "Joe's Tip Cube" and you received an updated version from your's truly. In order to preserve all the data associated with your older cube, you first need to register the new cube. You will then need to import the older cube's tip history to the newer one...
Congratulations! You've transferred tip data from your older cube to your newer one. At this point, you can rename your new cube from "Joe's Tip Cube - New" back to "Joe's Tip Cube" and delete the older cube. Q: Do I really have to rename the new cube before importing? Q: Will transferring tip history from one cube to another also change the hover text statistics that are now displayed over my cube? | |||||
