6.	/reconfigureaccessmaindb /dbname=MainDB.gxdb or /reconfiguremssqlmaindb /dbname=MainDB_sdx

As explained above the /reconfiguremaindb command is useful when connection details for the MainDB change. But that command does not let you change the type of the MainDB (i.e. if it is MS Access based, then you cannot change it to MS SQL Server). To change the DB Type of the MainDB, use the /reconfigureaccessmaindb or /reconfiguremssqlmaindb commands for MS Access and MS SQL Server respectively. These commands are only useful in special situations and should only be used in consultation with our support team.
