migrate to 8.0 on the same system

Top 

To migrate to 8.0 on the same server as the 7.x installation, install the 8.0 server into a new directory, then copy any libraries in the former 7.x "arc" directory to the new 8.0 "arc" directory.  Other libraries can be left in place or moved if desired (though 7.0 libraries should be copied rather than left in place unless 7.0 is no longer to be used).  Any library location changes require that the library table be updated to reflect the new physical library locations.

 

Take steps to ensure no UnForm printing will take place to the 8.0 server, 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

 

Use the browser interface Library page to modify the library paths to each of your new library locations.  As you do so, the custom user and group access records will be updated with the new library name.

 

Be sure to update any rule files that have full paths to library names in archive commands, so printing archives will update the new library locations.

 

At this point, you can begin submitting print jobs to the UnForm 8.0 server.
