Data Migration from Earlier Versions

Older versions of CutLogic 1D had different database management system (based on dBASE files) than current version of the program. Because of that, when you want to work with earlier entered data in current version of the program, it is necessary to migrate data to new database management system (based on Firebird SQL).

If you want to migrate data from older versions of the CutLogic 1D select the menu item "Tools > Older versions > Import Data from Version 3.3 and Lower". Following window, where you can select source destination of imported data and set import options, appears.

Source directory

Click the button to choose source directory with data of earlier versions (ver. 3.3 or lower) of the CutLogic 1D (e.g. C:\Program Files\TMachines\CutLogic 1D\Data\01).

TIP! If your older version of the CutLogic 1D is installed on different computer than the one you have installed new version of the CutLogic 1D, and these computers are not connected via network, you can copy and transfer only data directory "01". After that you can use this as your source directory.

NOTE! Make sure that you have selected directory "01" and not "00" where only empty database files created after installation of older version of the CutLogic 1D are stored.

Imported data

Inventory	Inventory (defined storages, materials, material sources and material parts) is always imported and it is not possible to uncheck this option.
Opened plans	Check, if you want opened plans to be imported.
Closed plans	Check, if you want closed plans to be imported.
Settings List	Check, if you want settings list to be imported.

If you have properly selected source directory and chosen data you want to import, click the button , to start migration of data from older version. Because the migration of data is very sensitive function, which will completely overwrite all current data, following confirmation and warning dialogs appear.

After your agreement with both questions, the migration process starts. During the migration process, progress bar informs you about actual processed data and remaining time.

When the migration finishes and all the data is successfully imported, following information dialog appears.

Import results

Here you can see results of importing process. These results are also saved at ImportFromOldVer.txt file (e.g. C:\Program Files\TMachines\CL1D\ ImportFromOldVer.txt).

WARNING! Migration process is non-returnable operation and all older data will be overwritten with new imported data!

NOTE! Because of large data structure differences in new and older versions of the CutLogic 1D, it is impossible to import any already optimized cutting layouts and these have to be canceled. Plans with canceled cutting layouts should be re-optimized in new version of CutLogic 1D.
