Migrating V4 Structure Elements

In order to migrate the V4 structure elements to V5 you need to take four basic steps:

• Make sure all resources are pointed to correctly in the project resource management file. The value of the entry "Migrate Structures" must be set to True. Also, you must enter the values correctly if you change the name or location of the structures catalog (StructureSpecificationsCatalog), and mapping tables (StructuresMigrationMappingTable; StructuresMaterialMigrationMappingTable) mentioned later in this section. This is usually done by a system administrator.
• Customize the feature dictionary to add V4 attributes that will be automatically detected when you migrate V4 structure elements. Any new attributes that were added to the feature dictionary must also be added to the mapping table.
• Update or create new mapping tables for sections. Sample mapping tables are included with this application but if you have a V4 section that does not exist in V5 then you must create the section and add it to the catalog.
• Execute a batch file that migrates the sections from V4 to V5.

This section further explains these tasks.
