# tibemsdbconvert Tool

The `tibemsdbconvert` tool, which is available in the EMS_HOME/bin directory, converts mstore files from one format to another. It has the following syntax:

    tibemsdbconvert -file mstore-file -version format

where mstore-file is the location and file name of your existing mstore file, and format is one of the following:

- `8.3` to convert the file to the 8.3 format.
- `8.2` to revert to the 8.2 format.
- `8.1` to revert to the 8.1 mstore format, which is compatible with older versions of the EMS server.
