WDCompte: Migrating the WEBDEV accounts

Overview

WDCompte is used to migrate the WEBDEV accounts and the WEBDEV sites.

The WEBDEV accounts are required to install a dynamic WEBDEV site on a Web server. The account migration allows you to use the accounts created in an earlier version with the current version.

To be used with a later version of WEBDEV engine, the site information must also be migrated. For example, to use a site created with WEBDEV 19 with a WEBDEV engine in version 21, the information regarding this site must be migrated.

Migrating the WEBDEV accounts

To migrate the WEBDEV accounts:

Start WDCompte.
Select "Users .. Import".
In the wizard, specify the location of the account files created with the requested version (by default, "Account" sub-directory of the setup directory of WEBDEV Deployment or WEBDEV application server). Go to the next step.
All the WEBDEV accounts found in the specified directory are automatically displayed.
Modify (if necessary) the characteristics of the different accounts (to do so, double-click the line to display the description window of the account or click the "Edit" button.
Select the different accounts to migrate.
Validate. The WEBDEV accounts are automatically migrated and they can be used by WDCompte.

Migrating information about the WEBDEV sites

A site created with an earlier WEBDEV version can be used with a WEBDEV 25 engine. However, the information linked to the site must be migrated. This migration is performed from WDCompte.

To migrate the site information:

Start WDCompte.
Select "Sites .. Import".
Select the sites to import. The non-imported sites will not operate with WEBDEV application server version 25.
Click the "Import" button.
