Subject: [TMG] TMG 5.09 and UFT import
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 11:46:24 -0500


Are there any disadvantages of importing a UFT database to TMG 4..0.d and then importing that data base to TMG 5.09 as compared to importing UFT directly to TMG 5.09? By disadvantages I mean benefits or data lost, not the time involved.

I ask because each time I do a trial conversion of my UFT data base to TMG I encounter problems. I have been doing this through several releases of TMG 5.0x. With each release the problems change but there are always problems. Each time I try doing the import via TMG 4.0.d the problem does not occur. In the case of TMG 5.09 the import drops the place on several thousand of my events.

Wholly Genes support has been quite willing to look at my data base to work around the problem if I am ready to convert. But I am not ready to convert when I can't be sure I have noticed all the data losses that occur on import. I have been delaying my conversion to TMG 5.x until I could get a clean import in which I could not find any loss of data problems. However, I am thinking maybe I should go ahead and convert by importing via TMG 4.0.d to TMG 5.09 if there is not some downside in the effects on my data.
