    Urgent issue. Phone call likely needed. DB issue

    I am in the process of setting up a new desktop and I have gotten an error message asking me to run the repair utility; HOWEVER, I can NOT get in NT at all. I have attempted to uninstall the software and reinstall and start over, but I get stuck at this point. I've attached a screen print of the message. Not sure if this is a back end issue on your end or not. I already have a few hours in this endevor of setting up NT on the new desktop and I need to complete it today. I'll be happy to provide my phone number via email if needed. Thanks, Bart

    Hello dallasstarsfan,

    We advise that you rename your database to resolve this item using the following steps :
    • Shutdown NinjaTrader and Go to the Start Menu
    • Select My Documents--> NinjaTrader 8--> db--> "NinjaTrader.sdf" file (may only say 'NinjaTrader' depending on your Windows File Explorer settings)
    • Right click on NinjaTrader.sdf and select "Rename"
    • *Name it "OLDNinjaTrader.sdf"
    • Then restart the software and NinjaTrader will create a fresh database file to use
    • Unfortunately the following items stored in the old database will be lost - Trading Hours templates, Instrument Lists / Custom Instruments, historical trade execution data, saved Strategy Analyzer backtest results
    Please let me know if the issue persists after this procedure.
