Import Settings with the Migration Wizard

Import Settings with the Migration Wizard

The Migration Wizard is a tool introduced in Ergosoft 16.6 to help take over data from Ergosoft 16/17 into the latest version or migrate installations from system to system.

This procedure works for User Data folders from version 15 as well as 16. You can either import data from an installation of Ergosoft 15 on the same computer, or you can e.g. copy the User Data folder from a different computer to easily migrate and replicate a RIP configuration.

Using the Migration Wizard

The Migration Wizard is integrated directly into the installation routine. Start the Ergosoft installation as usual and progress through until the User Data Folder selection window.

When an empty User Data folder is selected, the installation routine will show the “Show Data Migration Options” toggle.

It’s important to note that the toggle will not appear when there is already data in the selected User Data folder, so make sure that the default User Data path is empty or create a new folder and select it.

Activating this toggle will let you select which files and settings you want to import from the previous installation.

Possible settings that can be imported are:
  1. Print Environments
  2. Print & Cut Queues
  3. Profiles
  4. Presets
  5. User Levels
  6. HotFolder

Once you have selected the data you want to migrate, confirm the User Data dialog. Another file browser window will appear where you can select your reference user data folder. Browse to the folder you want to use (Either a Version 15/16 User Data folder or a version 17 user data folder from another installation) and confirm. The settings from the reference folder will automatically be copied to your new installation.
