QM account to D3

[Rick Weiser]

Hi all,

Has anyone tried to restore a QM account onto D3?  If so, how did you do this?

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick,

 

I am not aware of anyone who has migrated a whole QM account from QM to D3. We do have a version of ACCOUNT.SAVE that should do part of the job but migration requires more than just moving the programs and data. For example, several of the VOC record types differ from their MD equivalents.

 

Also, if the application has used D/I type dictionary items, these would need conversion. And, of course, QM has many features that are not in D3 and would therefore require manual conversion.

 

Why do you ask?

I published save/restore FOSS at https://bitbucket.org/foss4mv. It uses AccuTerm as a conduit to export/import between environments. This can be fitted with hooks for QM - the code was made for such adaptations. I haven't looked at it in years, I know it needs work, but as-is it's saved a few systems that were otherwise inaccessible and incompatible.

Thanks Martin and Tony,

The project got shelved for now.  I will let you know if I need help with this when it gets dusted off.
