Importing Users with the Migration Wizard
The FaxPress Premier Migration Wizard allows you to:
„
import users from a source FaxPress server (version 7.1 or later) to a destination
FaxPress Premier.
„
import users from a source FaxPress Premier server to a destination FaxPress
Premier.
The Migration Wizard also allows you to import user account data like personal phone-
books, personal cover pages, corporate phonebooks, and corporate cover pages from user
accounts on the source FaxPress or FaxPress Premier server to the user accounts on the
destination FaxPress Premier 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 follow-
ing steps:
1. Stop all FaxPress and FaxPress Premier 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 Premier.
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 migra-
tion.
Checking FaxPress and FaxPress Premier 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 Premier.
In the FaxPress server’s Archive database, find out whether the field type for FAXPRESS-
SERIALNUMBER is the default NUMBER in both the FPFAXINFO and FAXTRANSACTIONIN-
FO tables, or has been modified to the TEXT field type.
In the FaxPress Premier server’s Archive database, find out whether the field type for
FAXPRESSSERIALNUMBER is the default TEXT in both the FPFAXINFO and FAXTRANSAC-
TIONINFO 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.
