Importing Users with the Migration Wizard
The FaxPress Migration Wizard allows you to:
Iimport users from a source FaxPress server (version 7.1 or later) to a destination
FaxPress.
Import users from a source FaxPress server to a destination FaxPress.
The Migration Wizard also allows you to import user account data like personal
phonebooks, personal cover pages, corporate phonebooks, and corporate cover pages
from user accounts on the source FaxPress or FaxPress server to the user accounts on the
destination FaxPress server.
Migration Procedures and Requirements
During the migration process, all Archive databases should be frozen, meaning all Archive
related processes should be stopped. The Archive migration procedure includes the
following steps:
1. Stop all FaxPress and FaxPress Archive services.
2. Have all clients log out and make sure both servers should be idle.
3. Backup both Archive database for FaxPress and FaxPress.
4. Run the migration utility to migrate Archived jobs.
5. Confirm all jobs migrated successfully. If the migration failed, replace the Archive
databases with the backup copy and now we go back to the status before
migration.
Checking FaxPress and FaxPress Field Types
Before running the Migration Utility, you’ll need to know the field types of two Archive table
definitions for both the FaxPress and FaxPress.
In the FaxPress server’s Archive database, find out whether the field type for
FAXPRESSSERIALNUMBER is the default NUMBER in both the FPFAXINFO and
FAXTRANSACTIONINFO tables, or has been modified to the TEXT field type.
In the FaxPress server’s Archive database, find out whether the field type for
FAXPRESSSERIALNUMBER is the default TEXT in both the FPFAXINFO and
FAXTRANSACTIONINFO tables, or has been modified to the NUMBER field type.
Step 7 in the Migration Wizard procedure will require you to know this information. The
Migration Wizard uses this information to build the command to pull information from the
databases.

1. Log in to FaxPress as Administrator.
2. From
the
Start menu, choose
Programs>FaxPress>Tools>FaxPress
