Technical and Installation Discussions

What steps would I follow to move one MAS 90 company to a new MAS 90 installation?

Note:  the existing MAS 90 installation will remain with all other companies, except for the one I'm moving.

Thanks

Version 4.5

Guess these steps would apply to 4.5 as well, right?

Usually, I just install MAS, set up the company code in question, activate the modules, do the prliminary set up in each module, then copy the MAS_xxx folder to the new installation.  I rarely worry about security (unless you are bringing in PR that has departmental security set up, then you need to set those specific users up.

Where you might encounter some issues is if the existing installation has any flavoring (non vanilla).  Have there been UDF's and UDT's created and do values exist in the company tables being ported over?  Are you concerned with the paperless PDF's, screen customizations, ALE's and any Crystal reports or modifications to existing forms.  You may also have an issue if the users do not match exactly as the tables now contain user records (created by and updated by).  These may not match the new set up.  VI's may be an issue.

Thanks BL, any other thoughts on this?
