Hi Jason, I believe this can be done provided you are using different event collectors to write to your databases. However I have not tested this with databases using different names. You have to create a standard ISSED derived from the one created during install, give it a different name and then attach the database using SQL commands to make this work. I created a document that deals with some of the issues when moving databases, which is written in German(!). In the past you had to use Crystal Info Reporter to change the ODBC connect for the builtin reports, I dont know if that problem still exists. WGM 6.5 console does support connections to different sql databases, one at a time, I would give it a try.
