Sample Command Line Migration Scenarios

Quick Fields 6/7 sessions must be converted to the Quick Fields 8 format. The conversion process will retain virtually all of a session's settings. There are different ways to migrate sessions, one of which is using Microsoft Windows' command line.

The following scenarios and commands illustrate different ways to control the Quick Fields 8 Migration Utility from the command line.

• Tim uses the following command to convert all .qfs files in his My Documents folder: "C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Quick Fields 8.0\Utilities\QFMigrator.exe" "C:\ Documents and Settings\Tim\My Documents".
• Mark uses the following command to convert all .qfs files on his desktop, including those found in subfolders: "C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Quick Fields 8.0\Utilities\QFMigrator.exe" "C:\ Documents and Settings\Mark\Desktop" -r.
• Sarah uses the following command to convert all .qfs files in her My Documents folder. She uses the -d parameter to create the new files on the root of her C drive: "C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Quick Fields 8.0\Utilities\QFMigrator.exe" "C:\ Documents and Settings\Sarah\My Documents" -d "C:".
• Jane uses the following command to convert all .qfs files on her desktop. She uses the -o parameter to specify an output file name (ConvertedSession.qfs) and -y to ensure output is not printed to the console. "C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Quick Fields 8.0\Utilities\QFMigrator.exe" "C:\ Documents and Settings\Jane\Desktop" -o "ConvertedSession.qfs" -y.
