Because multiple InterMapper installations can report to a single InterMapper Database, when InterMapper registers with InterMapper Database, it supplies a UUID to uniquely identify it. The InterMapper Database makes note of the URL and other characteristics of the server and associates them with the UUID. If InterMapper Database receives the same UUID from a different URL, it generates the error above. This may happen, for instance, if you copy your server settings from one copy of InterMapper to another, or move InterMapper to a new host or IP address. Your choices are to:
If you are certain that the installation of InterMapper which has generated this error is the same installation that was associated with the UUID previously, or if you know it should replace it, you can choose "Force".
If this is a different installation of InterMapper, choose "Regenerate".
Note:It is important to pay attention to this error; map ids, device ids, etc., are only unique within a given server; if you associate a completely different installation of InterMapper with an existing UUID, the information about maps, etc. on the old server will be replaced or updated by information from the new server. When that occurs, datapoints from completely different datasets may be associated as if they were from one dataset.
