OPTIMIZER: Rename scenario_results.mdb to optimizer_results.accdb #187

Closed lbross closed 5 years ago

lbross commented 5 years ago

It may be confusing to have both the Processor and Optimizer output written to a database with the same name. If these databases are taken out of their project folder context, it isn't clear which is which. Also change extension to .accdb to migrate to more recent database structure. This may need to wait for the next full release of BioSum so that we can rename databases on legacy projects to the new name. I will also check to see if we need to do this from the BioSum side. These database are created new with every Processor or Optimizer run so we may be able to leave the older files in place.

This is done and ready to deploy. At this time, I do not plan to write a version_control upgrade to rename any existing scenario_results.mdb files in old projects to optimizer_results.accdb. After this is implemented, legacy projects may have one final scenario_results.mdb but any succeeding Optimizer runs will write output to optimizer_results.accdb. This database is created anew with each Optimizer run and there are no downstream Biosum processes that consume it. The view buttons on the Optimizer screen have been updated to link to optimizer_results.accdb.

Also renamed validcombo_fvspost.accdb and validcombo_fvspre.accdb to .accdb suffix
