Migration steps

Depending on the number of companies and the amount of data, some migration steps can take a considerable amount of processing time.

Important notes:

• Before starting the migration, backup your database and Infor LN.
• All other users must log off. No other processes must be active, this can lock the database.
• Run all migration steps by one and the same user. Log in with the user who executed the initial installation. If this account no longer exists, use an account with super user authorization.
• User default values as stored by the Save Defaults option in the table User Default (ttadv990) can become useless in case max values are involved. The existing max values are based on the locale, and can change in Unicode mode (because of the selected high ASCII locale). The existing data must be checked/corrected manually or (recommended) removed. Use the session Remove User Defaults (ttstpdeldeflt).
• All actions and results are logged by the log service as registered within the BSE Services Framework.

The migration steps are applicable for the migration from a:

• Single byte or Multibyte environment.
• Legacy Unicode implementation (HAT only) to the Unicode strict variant (HATS).
