====== Move scenarios from old server to new ======

This is for when you need to export scenario data from one sever and import it into a new server.  The general process is to make a set of directories to export the data into, then do the export, copy the data to the new server and finally do an import.

Here are the technical steps:
  *   Login with putty to the old server and go to the root of the model in which see your data, informants, sim and cal directories
<code>
  cd /models/myModel/
</code>
  *   copy the "data" directory which is used by Documentor and has all the sub directories for the calculators to a new directory with an appropriate name like oldModelScns
<code>
  cp -r data oldModelScns
</code>
  * clean out ONLY the files in the directory structure of oldModelScns be **VERY** careful to do this exactly as typed here so you don't delete something by mistake!
<code>
  rm oldModelScns/*/*.db
</code>
  * Do the export from samm 
    * Login into the old model with SAMM 
    * set the file path to /models/myModel/oldModelScns
    * Go to the scenario of interest, right click and export 
    * Change the variable suffix to something related to the scenario name with no spaces or special characters
    * click OK
  * copy (through drag and drop probably) the oldModelScns directory to the root of the new model
  * Go into the new model (maybe on the new server) with SAMM
  * Import the scenarios
    * set file path to the location of the scenarios within the new model
    * open the worksheet window from the windows menu
    * right click and choose load
    * fill in the import script name which will be something like "import.oldscnearioname.samm" - to check for the name look in the oldModelScns directory.
  * Save the scenario with a new name
