We have a customer who until now has been running WPSPLUS/VMS V3.1 and has been convinced to migrate to ALL-IN-1 V2.4 with WPSPLUS V4.0. An ALL-IN-1 account will be created for each WPSPLUS user. What will be the most convenient method of xferring the existing documents for each of these users? I have considered copying the DOCDB.DAT and renaming the DOC0..9.DIR from [.WPSPLUS] to the new [.A1] directory. What would happen if we asked ALL-IN-1 to create the ALL-IN-1 directory in [.WPSPLUS] (which already contains a DOCDB.DAT and DOC0..9 directories. Thanks, Cb.

Chaim, The script OA$LIB:WPCOPY.SCP should do what you require. It should be run from the MANAGER account, once for each user. I think it is documented somewhere in the Management Guide, but I'm not sure where. Jon | |||||

Do you see any pitfalls in using this method? Thanks, Cb. | |||||
