Install Pre-conversion Code
The QDT media contains all of the pre-conversion reports and utilities required to prepare a database for conversion. The pre-conversion source code is version independent and supports MFG/PRO versions 8.6E through QAD Standard Edition and Progress versions 8.3e to the latest Progress version. As a result, attempting to compile the pre-conversion code causes Progress errors due to field and table references that do not exist in all versions.
Therefore, QAD recommends running these programs as uncompiled source code.
To install the pre-conversion code, use the following steps:
1 The pre-conversion code is located in the preconvrep/preconvrep.zip file. Locate this file in the QDT media.
2 Unzip the pre-conversion code into its own directory (QAD suggests preconvrep).
3 Add the following the directories to the beginning of the PROPATH:
• <preconvrep_install_directory>
• <preconvrep_install_directory>/us
You can then run each program by typing the name at the character menu command line.
