A new FAQ has been added which explains how to wipe all of the data out of your database without having to reinstall.

How can I restore my database to its original state without reinstalling the ECMPS Client Tool?

During Beta testing, it might become necessary to start over with a fresh database. In order to do that, complete the following steps:

1. Backup any data you want to save by using the export functionality of the ECMPS Client Tool.
2. Close the ECMPS Client Tool, if it is open.
3. Go to the folder C:\PROGRAM FILES\PQA\ECMPS\DATABASESETUP\.
4. Double-click on the file ECMPSDATABASESETUP.EXE. This will start the application "Format SQL Client Databases".
5. Click the FORMAT button to format the database.
6. The formatting is complete when the last entry in the window reads "Done". If necessary, click the FORMAT button additional times until the last entry in the window reads "Done".
7. Formatting the databases will delete any data in the ECMPS Client Tool database. The next time you start the ECMPS Client Tool, you will need to follow the steps for the initial login which are included in the ECMPS Beta Installation Guide.

Please note, this will delete any data in your ECMPS Client Tool database. Backup any data you want to save by using the export functionality of the ECMPS Client Tool.
