2 (Optional) Migrate the View Composer database to a new location.
If you need to take this step, consult your database administrator for migration instructions.

service. Also specify the domain administrator user name and password that were provided for the
ODBC data source for that database.
If you migrated the database, the DSN and data source information must point to the new location of
the database. Whether or not you migrated the database, the new View Composer service must have
access to the original database information about the linked clones.
