Upgrading on a different computer with Migration Assistant

To reduce the risk of problems, we recommend installing RICOH ProcessDirector on a different computer and then migrating your objects from the existing system to the new system.
Using the Migration Assistant when upgrading reduces downtime during migration by preventing problems such as missing features and ensuring that objects and all their dependencies are migrated together.

When using the Migration Assistant, the system you want to migrate from is referred to as the source system, while the destination system for migration is referred to as the target system.

In this section:

  1. Planning for Reports database migration
    When you upgrade RICOH ProcessDirector on a different computer with the Reports feature installed, special consideration is required. You must make several decisions related to the Reports database to help the migration proceed smoothly.
  2. Preparing to use the Migration Assistant
    For a successful migration, we recommend taking some measures to prepare your systems to avoid difficult-to-solve problems that could lead to migration failure.
  3. Running the Migration Assistant
    With the Migration Assistant, objects and files are transferred from one RICOH ProcessDirector system to the other. This process significantly minimizes the likelihood of human error associated with the import of a large number of objects and files.
