Move an existing Vault into a new instance

Hi all, I am attempting to create a test instance in order to try out new things in a safe non production environment, and I have created a new Aras instance from scratch and imported everything from the production successfully, the only problem is I am being given a OnShowFile error telling me that the vault location of the files are invalid. I had replaced the default vault with a copy of our default production vault and I am stuck on what the problem might be. Any help would be most appreciated!

    Hi crdonnelly, I recommend checking three things:
    1. Check the LocalPath in your VaultServerConfig.xml file. It's located in the root directory of your Aras Innovator installation. Make sure the file path in LocalPath exists.
    2. Go to the LocalPath that is set in your VaultServerConfig.xml file. Make sure that folder contains a folder that matches the name of your database. All vault files for your instance should be inside the folder whose name matches your database name.
    3. Login to Aras as admin and check the vault url pattern for your default vault. If this is hardcoded to your production server, replace it with the default value: $[HTTP_PREFIX_SERVER]$[HTTP_HOST_SERVER]$[HTTP_PORT_SERVER]$[HTTP_PATH_SERVER]/vault/vaultserver.aspx
    One of the steps above with likely resolve the issue. Eli
