310DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide

A user with User rights to a DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance or DSR switch in the DSView 2.x software will not be assigned any access rights in the DSView 3 software.

A user with Admin rights to a DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance or DSR switch in the DSView 2.x software will be assigned the Reboot Appliance, Flash Upgrade Appliance and Configure Appliance Settings access rights in the DSView 3 software.

Cascade switch types in the DSView 2.x software database cannot be determined during the import process and are added as Generic 1 x <n> switches, based on the number of found switch channels. After importing the DSView 2.x software database and running the Migrate DSView 2.X Units task, you may run the Resync Wizard on individual CPS appliances, DS1800 digital switches and DSR switches to specify switch types and merge multiuser switches. See Resynchronizing units on page 315.

Internal users and built-in user groups with DSView 2.x software permissions residing on the computer that ran the DSAuth server will be imported into the DSView 3 software system. An external NT authentication service with the same name as the DSAuth server will be added to the DSView 3 software system. The DSView 2.x software users and user groups will be associated with the authentication service added to the DSView 3 software system.

The DSView 2.x software Everyone user group cannot be imported into DSView 3 software systems.

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.

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.
