Before using the Import DSView 2.x Software Database tool
To use the Import DSView 2.x Software Database tool, you must create a backup of the database
using the DSAuth Migration Utility. The database is saved as a .zip file which may then be
imported into the DSView 3 software system using the Import DSView 2.x Database tool.
The DSAuth Migration Utility will shut down the DSView 2.x DSAuth service as it runs and will
restart the service upon completion.
To backup the database:
1. On the computer containing the DSView 2.x software database (that is, the DSAuth Server)
that you wish to migrate, insert the DSView 3 software DVD. An autorun file will display the
DSView 3 management software screen.
2. Click Run DSView 2.x Migration.
-or-
If autorun is not enabled, type <drive:>\Migration Utility\DSMigration.exe, where <drive:> is
the letter of your DVD drive. The DSAuth Migration Utility dialog box will appear.
3. Click Backup. The Save As dialog box will appear.
4. Select a directory and filename and click Save. The Status area of the DSAuth Migration
Utility dialog box will contain messages as the backup is created. A Finished message box will
appear when the backup is completed.
5. Click OK.
