Install Pre-Conversion Code
The EE 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 etc/preconvrep/preconvrep.zip file.
The preconvrep.zip file is included on the 2017EE image. The .zip file is on the 2017EE image but it is not installed because it is designed to be installed on a pre-EE environment (SE or eb2.1).
2 Unzip the pre-conversion code into its own directory. QAD recommends using the preconvrep directory.
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.
