Migrating the Ground Link Proxy Database to Microsoft SQL Server
Before you begin, make sure that

You can migrate your Ground Link proxy database from Firebird to Microsoft SQL Server with M-Files Admin.
To migrate the Ground Link proxy database to Microsoft SQL Server:

In Database name, enter a name for the Ground Link proxy database.
We recommend to use the same name as the Ground Link proxy has on M-Files Server.
