Migrating Files

Click Migrate files to update local service configuration files to current version. With each release of CygNet new keywords will be added, existing keywords may change, and obsolete keywords will be removed. This action updates the local configuration files with the correct keywords and values for the current CygNet Software release.

To migrate local configuration files

1. Click Migrate configuration files.

2. Type the Service path or click Browse to access the Browse For Folder dialog box. Select the directory where the configuration files are located on your local server, usually the CygNet\Services directory. The Config File Manager will search all folders under the selected path and find all the *.cfg files.
3. Click Migrate files to start the migration.
4. A confirmation dialog box will display showing the changes made to the configuration files. Click Save to confirm or Discard to override the change. Click Yes to confirm the action.
5. Upon completion a success message will display. Click OK.

Resolving Conflicts when Migrating Files

When migrating local configuration files, the Config File Manager searches all directories and subdirectories for *.cfg files in alphabetical order. The utility may find files of the same name from different folders, for example, in a Backup folder and in a Services folder. To resolve conflicts when this occurs, a Conflict Resolver dialog displays the conflicting file names. The user has the option of choosing individual files, or clicking Select All on Left or Select All on Right. Once the choices have been made, clicking Accept will update the selected files.
