5 Changing Database Platforms Database Migration Instructions This portion of the document is only to be used when converting from one database platform to another. For instance, if you are currently running a CTree or Pervasive SQL database and you want to convert to a Microsoft SQL or MSDE database. You must contact Horizons International to receive the Migration Tool. Please call for information. NOTE:BEFORE YOU BEGIN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH DISK SPACE ON THE DRIVE THE DATA WILL BE EXPORTED TO, IN ORDER ACCOMMODATE ALL OF THE DATA TABLES. This program supports two methods of migration depending on the database that you are migrating to Import to PSQL from Ctree or export to MSSQL or MSDE from Ctree, Faircom or PSQL. It also possible, if desired, to export the data from PSQL or MSSQL/MSDE to Ctree tables. When migrating to MSSQL or MSDE the migration tool will use the ODBC setup for SQL to transfer the data directly to MSSQL/MSDE. This is accomplished by marking the Migrate to MSSQL checkbox on the Export Tables window. Installation Make sure the latest Horizon s code matches the Select/Professional version on both sides, i.e. old database and new. If replacing Migration Tool code, make a backup copy of the HZ_MT.DIC file in case the new code is not correct. Also verify that you have the correct Migration version for the version of Horizons. Copying The Install File To The Select/Professional Directory: The HZ_MT.CNK file will be installed into the Select/Professional root directory of the station that you are migrating from, except when migrating from Ctree to PSQL, in which case you will be importing from the PSQL side. To install the chunk file copy the HZ_Mig.exe or HZ_Mig.cnk file to the Select/Professional directory. In a File Manager, double click to unpack the exe file (this is not necessary if using the.cnk file). This file can also be unpacked at the Command Prompt level by typing the file name when in the Select/Professional directory. Make sure the file attribute is NOT read only. (Right click on the file and choose properties) LOADING THE CHUNK FILE When Select/Professional is started a message will appear asking to include the new code. Answer Yes. Upon loading, a dictionary will be created called HZ_MT.DIC and entries will be made into the Dynamics.set file showing the product ID of 2086 and the paths to the dictionary (:C:Dynamics/HZ_MT.DIC) the reports dictionary (:C:Dynamics/HZMTRPTS.DIC) and the forms modifications dictionary (:C:Dynamics/ HZMTFRMS.DIC). 6

Upgrade your Ctree version to the requirements noted at the beginning of this document. 2. Create a Select/Professional PSQL installation of the same version as the Ctree installation. a. Install the Horizons Manufacturing product, either using the Install wizard or by manually copying the.cnk file, into the root directory of the PSQL installation of Select/Professional. Note that this must be the same version that is installed in the Ctree version. 3. Load the Migration Tool chunk file in the PSQL root directory, start Select/ Professional 4. Log in. 5. Include the new code. Add the Migration palette to the shortcut bar (see above). 6. Open the Migration Registration window from the Migration palette. 7. Enter Registration Keys. 8.

The data for Item Pricing Matrix is kept in the Inventry directory and all tables start with IP. The data for Horizons Contact Manager is kept in the Sales directory and all tables start with HCM. The data for Configurator is kept in the Inventry directory and all tables start with CFG. The Path that is created will be written to the Pathnames table in Select/ Professional. You can see it also in the Pathnames window (File Maintenance Pathnames) under the Inventory/Sales series Migration, and Prod- 8

Confirm that the tables are created by using the Enterprise Manager (the tables all start with BOM...), or go to HMS Setup and confirm that the window opens without any table errors. uct Horizons Migration Tool. THE OTHER PATHS ARE FOR THE HORIZONS TABLES. THEY MUST BE EMPTY OR THE SAME AS THE PATHNAMES FOR THE HORIZONS PRODUCT.

For Configurator, also enter the Select/Professional version in the S/PVersion field. 11. If migrating To MSSQL or MSDE mark the Migrate to MSSQL checkbox. a. Fill in the MSSQL Server name (use the format PCname\DatabaseServerName) and the MSSQL/MSDE Database where data will reside (for example, in the test company The World Online, Inc. the SQL database name is usually TWO). The Horizons SQL tables must already be created. 12. If not migrating to MSSQL or MSDE select an Export Path by clicking the yellow folder. THE EXPORT PATH MUST BE SET TO THE DIRECTORY THAT YOU WANT TO EXPORT YOUR DATA FROM. 13.
