This operation detaches a content database from the environment. The detach process performs the following steps:
Prepares any pending Live requests so they will not be processed in the current environment.
Stores Live service information that will be required in the target environment.
Unregisters the database from the environment and removes any site collection mappings that use it.
Running this command will cause workflow history to be lost from the environment. The command is intended to be run as part of the process of migrating a SharePoint database to another environment or in other scenarios where the data stored in it will no longer be required by the environment.
The command should be run by an account with read and write access to the Nintex Workflow databases.
The command does not delete the database from the database server.
It is recommended that the “” service is stopped while running this command.
The detached database can be reattached to an environment using the AttachDatabase command.
