migrate to 8.0 on a new system

Top

To migrate UnForm 7.x data to a new UnForm 8.0 installation on a new server, first install 8.0 on the new system, using the same directory as 7.x on the old system. Next, copy all library directories (including those in the default “arc” subdirectory) to the same paths on the new system.

Then copy these files to the UnForm server directory:

•	ufarcacc.dat – library/user access table

•	ufarcgrp.dat – groups table

•	ufarcgrc.dat – library/group access table

•	ufarclib.dat – library full paths and properties

•	ufarcusr.dat – user table

If you wish to use new paths for any libraries, you may do so, but will need to use the browser interface Library maintenance function to change library path names before any archiving activity or browser access to the libraries takes place. Any library location changes require that the library table be updated to reflect the new physical library locations.

If using, install the uf80a.pl (Unix) or uf80a.exe (Windows) to the cgi scripting directory on your web server, and create a uf80a.ini file in the same directory with a server=name-or-IP configuration line to direct the web server to the new UnForm server (or begin using a local web server on the new system).

In order to continue to print from the old system to the new one, install an UnForm 8.0 client on the old system, and add a –server name-or-IP option to the uf80c command lines to submit print jobs to the new server.
