Conversion from 1.0

Top  Previous  Next

CirrusPrint 1.0 configurations can be used to create 2.0 configurations.  CirrusPrint 1.0 supported multiple installations to different directories on a server.  Each of these installs had a unique configuration and is suitable for conversion to a unique company configuration in 2.0.

 

Note that you generally cannot run 1.0 and 2.0 on the same server, because port and path inputs would conflict.  These steps are designed for use when transferring a 1.0 install to a 2.0 company configuration on a different system.

 

Create a new company on the 2.0 system.  The conversion only works with empty 2.0 files, so if you have already created the company and entered configuration data, and wish to import 1.0 data into it, you can remove three files from data/companyID: locations.dat, sources.dat, and devices.dat.  They will be recreated during the import.
 
Copy the files cploc.dat, cppath.dat, cpport.dat, and cprdev.dat from the 1.0 install's "data" directory to the 2.0 installs "data/companyID" directory.
 
In the administrator browser interface, click the company's Locations/Users, Input Sources, and Output Devices options in turn.  These steps will result in importing the 1.0 data, creating records in the 2.0 configuration.  One these steps are complete, you can remove the cp*.dat files.
