How to convert a Syspro 6.1 database to Syspro 7

This is a basic procedure to use when you have a parallel installations of Syspro 6.1 and Syspro 7 and are upgrading from Syspro 6.1 to Syspro 7. There is a full procedure published by Syspro; you should follow that full procedure, which includes backing up, balancing, etc. This procedure is the quick-and-nasty procedure for developers to use in a non-production environment.

  1. Log out of Syspro 6.1.
  2. Create a backup of your Syspro 6.1 database.
  3. Move all your Syspro 6.1 settings files from 6.1 to 7:
    Move C:\Syspro61\WORK\?TBL*, ?ARSFMT*, ?SORFMT* and ?TBL* to C:\Syspro7\WORK
    where ? is the company prefix you are copying.
  4. Log into Syspro 7 into the new company.
  5. You should see the conversion wizard start automatically.
  6. Proceed through the wizard.
