4024.0. "Transfer Users question?" by HPOU06::TROTTI (VAX..more than just a vacuum cleaner) Thu Mar 24 1994 18:39

    A Customer wants to transfer approximately 80 users from one Active
    ALL-IN-1 system to another.  
    
    My questions are:
    
    1. Approximately how long does it take to do a user with around 1000
    documents using ALL-IN-1's Transfer User Option?
    
    2. Can more than one account be transfererred at a time?
    
    3. Is it better to do it with ALL-IN-1 2.4 or should we upgrade to 3.0 
    prior to transferring?
    
    4. Can the Group Functionality, provided with Version 3.0, speed up
    this process in any way.
    
    Thanks alot,

    Hi Mike,

    Version 3.0 has improved the transfer user option, in that if the
    transfer option fails the users account is not affected.  Unlike 2.4
    where number of problems were reported, such as customer attempting to
    run the transfer user option a number of times.  This created a number
    of problems when trying to unarchive an archived account.  Due to the
    failure of the transfer user option the user account could not be
    accessed.
    
    Purely from the point of view of having the transfer user option that
    is more robust and reliable I would opt for 3.0.
    
    Transfers do take time and the time taken depends on a number of
    factors.
